“Mark [Jeffers] at the Yellow Cab had been wanting to do something around the Winter Solstice and once we got to booking, things just kind of took on their own momentum,” said David Obenour, concert promoter. “It’s beyond exciting to see this many talented Dayton musicians playing in tributes to some of their favorite musicians.”

“With members coming in from out of state, I was so excited when Patrick [Himes] told me that Set the Controls could do their reunion on Friday night,” Obenour said. “Really, every night is going to be its own amazing experience. I’m biased of course, but it’s hard not to see the dollars to live music value in that 5-day pass.”
