SUMMARY:Rock Fest w/ Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys
DESCRIPTION:August 1 @ 5:30 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree Admission\n\n\n/\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeries:\n\n\n\n\nAmplified Series sponsored by City of Dayton \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGenre:\n\n\n\n\nRock \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us this year as we celebrate Rock Fest\, part of the Amplified Series sponsored by the City of Dayton. \nRock Amplified Lineup: \n\n5:30 p.m. The Boxcar Suite\n6:45 p.m. Spoils\n8 p.m. Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys\n\nBig Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys – Since forming in 1988 in Southern California\, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys have become one of the world’s most beloved Americana/Roots acts\, drawing from the deep musical waters that flow just beneath the surface of Rock & Roll’s fertile soil. A childhood passion for Country\, Doo-Wop\, and Rhythm & Blues 45s led Sandy (born Robert Williams) to pursue a singing career as a teenager\, beginning a life in music that continues decades later. And as his personal record collection continues to grow (75\,000 and counting)\, so does the depth of the musical influences that stream through his songwriting and singing style. A critically acclaimed tribute to Tex-Mex hero Freddy Fender\, released at the beginning of the 2020 lockdown\, points the way forward for Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys as they continue on a path of musical growth. After nearly 35 years on the road\, and more than two dozen releases to their credit\, they remain key figures on the ever-changing Americana circuit\, both on record and in live appearances. \nSpoils – Spoils is a Cincinnati-based indie rock band with a sound that feels raw\, melodic\, and full of movement. Their music blends guitar-driven energy with emotional vocals and a DIY spirit\, creating songs that feel both personal and alive. \nRooted in the independent music scene\, Spoils brings an honest\, no-frills approach to their sound. Their live set invites listeners into something immediate and real\, with the kind of energy that fits perfectly on a summer night of free music in downtown Dayton. \nBring a chair or blanket\, find your spot on the lawn\, and get ready to discover a Cincinnati band bringing fresh indie rock energy to the Levitt stage. \nThe Boxcar Suite – The Boxcar Suite is a Cincinnati-based indie rock project known for melodic guitar work and introspective songwriting. Their music leans atmospheric and reflective\, pairing layered instrumentation with a steady\, understated energy. \nWith a DIY approach and a focus on mood and tone\, The Boxcar Suite creates songs that invite you to listen in and connect—perfect for discovering something new together on a summer night.

SUMMARY:SCYTHIAN
DESCRIPTION:August 7 @ 7:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree Admission\n\n\n/\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGenre:\n\n\n\n\nCeltic Rock/Folk-Rock \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNamed after Ukrainian nomads\, Scythian (sith-ee-yin) plays roots music from Celtic\, Eastern European and Appalachian traditions with thunderous energy\, technical prowess\, and storytelling songwriting\, beckoning crowds into a barn-dance\, rock concert experience. Nashville’s Music City Roots says Scythian is ‘what happens when rock star charisma meets Celtic dervish fiddling’\, and the Washington Post claims “Scythian’s enthusiasm is contagious\, and shows seem to end with everyone dancing\, jumping around or hoisting glasses.” The foursome made up of Alexander Fedoryka (Vocals\, Fiddle\, Mandolin\, Harmonica)\, Danylo Fedoryka (Vocals\, Guitar\, Accordion)\, Ethan Dean (Vocals\, Upright and Electric Bass\, Percussion\, Guitar) and Johnny Rees (Vocals\, Drums\, Percussion) brings various influences together to create a conglomerate which is technically precise and steeped in various folk traditions: The classically trained Fedoryka brothers grew up on Ukrainian folk music and bluegrass\, while Ethan Dean was raised on the greats of 60’s & 70’s folk-rock. Lafayette LA raised Johnny Rees brings a Cajun backbeat to the Celtic-Americana fusion giving Scythian yet another dimension which keeps audiences entertained and moving. Scythian is coming off its most prolific year in 2020 with over 1\,000 hours of live streams during the Covid Lockdowns\, release of two new albums (Roots & Stones and Quaranstream: The Album) and four new music videos. You have to catch the live show to understand why The Cammel City Dispatch said of their Merlefest performance: “[Scythian gives] no quarter in their quest to entertain and bring a joy to their music that gives it an irony-free\, wide open feel of manic possibility. The playing is technically brilliant\, but it is the energy that carries the day.”
