A multi-GRAMMY-nominated artist\, she has built a global reputation for music that is fearless\, soulful\, and deeply human. Blending blues\, rock\, gospel\, soul\, and Americana\, her sound reaches across genres while staying rooted in truth and storytelling. \nBorn and raised in Harlem\, Shemekia grew up surrounded by music and stepped onto the stage at just eight years old alongside her father\, blues legend Johnny Copeland. Since then\, she has carried that legacy forward while carving out a voice all her own—one that is bold\, commanding\, and impossible to ignore. \nHer latest album\, Blame It On Eve\, showcases both her signature power and her range\, balancing songs that take on real-world issues with moments of joy\, humor\, and celebration. It’s music that makes you think\, makes you feel\, and makes you move—all at once. \nOn stage\, Shemekia brings an energy that fills the space and draws people together. Her performances are more than concerts—they’re shared experiences rooted in connection\, resilience\, and joy. Whether she’s delivering a blues ballad or getting the crowd on their feet\, she creates moments that stay with you long after the music ends. \n  \nNikki D and the Sisters of Thunder – Nikki D & The Sisters of Thunder is a multi-generational family-based group from Toledo\, Ohio. Their unique style is Gospel with Blues riffs and grooves\, all punctuated by Nikki D’s wildly soulful and electrifying LapSteel guitar. In fact\, in 2016\, Guitar World magazine described Nikki as “The Jimi Hendrix of Sacred Steel”\, because of her willingness to experiment with vocal-like riffs and runs. She’s also a soulful vocalist that commands the attention of those that hear her raspy\, yet sultry voice. Nikki D is joined by Gloria Brown on Guitar\, Tomika Webb on Bass Guitar\, Christian Brown on Drums\, Gary Black on Keyboard\, and Belinda Brown and Latonja Degraffanreid on Vocals.\nTheir music has allowed them to open for artists like Jack White’s Raconteurs\, Grammy Award winner Ceelo Green and travel internationally to perform on the same stage as Sarah McLachlan. Their mission is to Impact Lives\, Inspire Hope and Ignite Joy. Wherever you see them perform\, you can expect a forecast of hand clapping and foot tapping! \n  \nPrimetime Blues Band – Prime Time Blues Band brings a high-energy blend of blues\, soul\, and classic R&B that gets people on their feet and feeling the music. Known for their tight musicianship and dynamic live shows\, this seasoned group delivers everything from smooth grooves to powerful\, guitar-driven blues. \nRooted in the traditions of the blues while keeping things fresh and fun\, Prime Time Blues Band creates a sound that connects across generations. Their performances are all about shared moments—songs you recognize\, rhythms you can move to\, and an energy that brings the whole crowd together. \nWhether you’re a lifelong blues fan or just discovering the genre\, Prime Time Blues Band invites everyone to settle in\, soak it up\, and enjoy the ride.

SUMMARY:Niki Johnson: Pillars of Democracy
DESCRIPTION:The Contemporary Dayton is proud to present Niki Johnson: Pillars of Democracy\, a series of four large-scale collaged portraits envisioning Liberty\, Justice\, Freedom\, and Forward as first-time voters from Milwaukee. Set across Wisconsin landscapes at dawn\, midday\, dusk\, and night\, the works reflect how democratic values are lived\, protected\, and renewed at the local level. \nConstructed from discarded stencil paper and leftover spray paint collected during the 2020 installation of Shepard Fairey’s Voting Rights Are Human Rights mural\, the series bridges more than a century of voting rights activism through both material and design. Inspired in part by Bertha Boyd’s 1911 suffrage poster Votes for Women\, the works foreground the central role of women in democracy\, from early suffragists to first-time voters today\, uniting generations through civic participation and creative resistance. \nBuilt collaboratively over ten months with the support of Milwaukee artists and community volunteers\, Pillars of Democracy reminds us that democracy is not abstract\, but rather something we actively build\, sustain\, and strengthen through everyday acts of participation\, dialogue\, and collective care. \nPresented during The Contemporary Dayton’s 35th anniversary season\, the exhibition reflects our ongoing commitment to freedom of expression and to creating space for artistic inquiry\, civic engagement\, and public dialogue. \nJohnson is a Milwaukee-based artist\, curator\, and Executive Director of the Forward Art Initiative. She earned her BFA from the University of Memphis and her MA/MFA in Studio Art from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her work is included in the collection of the Dayton Art Institute and has been reviewed in publications including The New York Times\, The Guardian\, Hyperallergic\, and Vice Magazine. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOPENING NIGHT / Wednesday\, July 1\nMember & Sponsor Preview: 5-6 pm \nPublic Reception: 6-8 pm \nArtist Talk: 6:30 pm

SUMMARY:HYRYDER – A Grateful Dead Tribute
DESCRIPTION:The night before the nation turns 250\, step into the timeless world of the Grateful Dead with Hyryder\, a tribute band devoted to the improvisation\, exploration\, and freewheeling joy that defined a generation.

With passion and authenticity\, Hyryder brings the legendary Dead catalog roaring back to life—every jam a journey\, every song an invitation to let go. This is where the spirit of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead lives on.

SUMMARY:Liz Quay\, Jayne Struble\, and Kathy McGhee Art Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:The Sinclair Community College Art Department is pleased to present “Marks & Stitches” by Liz Quay & Jayne Struble in the Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery along with “Printed Landscapes” by Kathy McGhee in the Works on Paper Gallery. Through the collaborative lens of “Marks & Stitches” Struble and Quay delve into the connections found in nature and the human body. Their collaboration is an exploration of the invisible ties that bind humanity together and highlight the beauty of interconnectedness. Struble’s graphite drawings of the landscape investigate the way visual artifacts\, such as images\, are a tangible yet fragile representation of one’s memories\, while Quay explores the tension and stagnation that is generated through managing emotional balance through fiber art and experimental sculpture. McGhee’s “Printed Landscapes” utilizes a variety of printmaking techniques to capture intimate moments of beauty in the landscape and explore the relationships between plants and the places they exist. She is inspired not only by the experience of being in nature but also by the visual patterns created through line\, texture\, and color as organisms naturally coexist. There will be a virtual artist talk via Zoom on Friday\, July 10\, 2026\, at 12pm. Visit www.sinclair.edu/artgalleries for details. The exhibitions will be on display from July 6–August 14\, 2026. Galleries are located on the fourth floor of building 13 (located at West Fifth and South Perry Streets). The galleries are free and open to the public from 8am–6pm Monday–Friday and 9am–12pm Saturdays. Free and accessible parking is located in Parking Lot K.
