SUMMARY:Funk Fest w/ The Bar-Kays
DESCRIPTION:Funk Fest w/ The Bar-Kays\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMay 30 @ 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\nFunk \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us this year as we celebrate Funk Fest\, part of the Amplified Series sponsored by the City of Dayton. \nFunk Amplified Lineup: \n\n5:45 p.m. Freakquency\n6:45 p.m. Plazmatic\n8 p.m. The Bar-Kays\n\nThe Bar-Kays – Despite unimaginable obstacles\, the Bar-Kays have endured as one of the longest-running funk and soul groups of all time. They began in Memphis\, Tennessee\, as a studio session group\, backing major artists at Stax Records like Otis Redding and Isaac Hayes. \nThe bands would go on to have dozens of charting singles from the 1960s to the 19080s\, including “Soul Finger: (US Billboard Hot 100 number 17\, R&B number 3) in 1967\, “Son of Shaft” (R&B number 10) in 1972\, and “Boogie Body Land” (R&B number 7) in 1980.) \nThe Bar-Kays were inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in 2015; and have endured as one of the longest-running funk and soul groups ever. \n  \nPlazmatic – Plazmatic is a Cincinnati-based band specializing in captivating live performances with high production value. The band is currently booking regional festivals\, shows\, and private events while establishing themselves as a first-call group in the regional jam scene. \nThe group has performed at some of Cincinnati’s premier venues including Madison Live\, Radio Artifact\, and the Woodward Theater\, while also performing in the broader region. The group has also been called on for major regional events (Oktoberfest Zinzinnati\, FC Cincinnati games) and music festivals (Kinda Spoopy\, Rislofest). \nThe band\, whose style draws heavily from golden-era funk\, the modern jam scene\, as well as rock and jazz\, released their EP “Midnight Somewhere” in May 2025. The group’s sound is defined by thick grooves and improvisation over non-traditional song structures. The band’s unforgettable live shows blend original compositions\, funky covers\, improvisational jams\, and a knack for getting audiences to dance. \n \nFreakquency – Freakquency is a “Funk Fusion” band from Dayton\, Ohio that started in 2015. It has existed in various iterations since then\, but the finalized quartet of musicians was set in 2022. Freakquency’s music is as varied as the backgrounds of its musicians; from hip hop and R&B\, to jazz and blues\, to metal and hardcore\, and of course Dayton funk\, all blended to make killer music! Freakquency shows could charitably be described as a “rollercoaster”\, going from smooth\, to heavy\, to dance\, but ALWAYS funky. This combination led Freakquency to win the Dayton Battle Of The Bands in 2024! Call the music whatever you like\, but it is undeniably and always Freakquency.

SUMMARY:Member’s Spotlight Exhibition: Simon Robins: Sociable
DESCRIPTION:June 5-27\, 2026 Opening Reception: June 5\, 6-8 pm The paintings in Simon Robins: Sociable\, contain imagery sourced from public domain and found photographs discovered through extensive research by the artist in digital archives. Cropping\, recoloring\, and recontextualizing these images\, Robins transforms fragments of anonymous histories into works that feel at once familiar and elusive. Robins’ practice is deeply informed by his work as a collections librarian and faculty member at University of Dayton\, where he regularly navigates institutional archives and historical image collections. By removing photographs from their original context\, his paintings invite viewers to reconsider how images shape collective memory and how archives reflect systems of power\, inclusion\, and omission. In these works\, Robins explores themes of social alienation\, belonging\, and the quiet tensions embedded within everyday interactions. His paintings evoke the visual language of post-war photography and design while raising timely questions about authorship\, historical bias\, and the lingering influence of institutional narratives. Through carefully composed and psychologically charged imagery\, Robins creates space for reflection on the ways people connect\, observe\, and exist within larger social structures. About the Artist: Originally from Portland\, Oregon and now based in Dayton\, Simon Robins has exhibited his work at the Dayton Society of Artists\, Rosewood Arts Center\, and The Contemporary Dayton. In 2025\, he received First Place in the Dayton Society of Artists Annual Members’ Exhibition and Second Place in The Contemporary Dayton’s Juried Members’ Exhibition. Robins earned a BA in History and Art History from Portland State University and a Master of Library and Information Studies from University of British Columbia. He currently works as a collections librarian and faculty member at the University of Dayton\, where his engagement with digital archives directly informs his artistic practice.
