Dan Thrasher did a great article this past Friday on forthcoming local music releases for 2024.  Subscribe to the Dayton Daily News to read his top notch coverage of local artists. At the least, pick up Friday editions! I think a physical newspapers' "user interface" is superlative!  Support journalism- part of the lifeblood of our democracy.

In the Dayton Metro area, Nick Kizirnis has been giving us great music through numerous iterations including The Nicky Kay Orchestra, The Mulchmen, solo albums/singles and much more. He's got a new album coming the first of May. The first single, the title track, Every Moment, is out now for you to hear, and the album is available for pre-order, all at the incredible music site, Bandcamp. Nick has also alerted fans that pre-orders will be filled early as soon as his health allows.

This site concentrates on live music in the immediate area which includes Springfield, Springboro, Xenia, etc.

Cincinnati and Columbus have loads of music but also have loads of coverage regarding that music.

When artists I believe are important to folks here in town have shows outside of the Dayton area like Riverbend, they’ll show up here.

Today I added an event at Bogart’s in Cinci simply because Bogart’s brings in loads of artists we typically aren’t going to see here in town,  sometimes we haven't much to hear in our area and hey, it’s not THAT far to drive. Lol
