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:Teresa Olavarria: Lichen
DESCRIPTION:The Contemporary Dayton is pleased to present Teresa Olavarria: Lichen\, featuring new work by Dayton-based artist Teresa Olavarria and presented as our May Member Spotlight Exhibition that celebrates the vibrant creativity of our local and regional artist community. The exhibition opens Wednesday\, May 6 with a public reception from 6–8 PM. \nWorking in vitreous enamel on copper and patinated cast bronze\, Olavarria translates the ephemeral qualities of lichen into enduring materials. Her meticulous processes include layering and firing glass onto metal\, and casting bronze from wax models\, resulting in richly textured forms that echo the organic structures found in nature. Through this transformation\, fragile organisms are preserved in metal\, becoming both study and tribute. \n“The works in Teresa Olavarria: Lichen invites viewers to reconsider what they see and what they overlook\,” says Heather Jones\,  Curator and Director of Programs and Engagement at The Contemporary Dayton. “It’s about slowing down\, looking closely\, and recognizing the complexity and interconnectedness of the natural world.” \nOlavarria lives and works in Dayton\, Ohio. A graduate of the University of Dayton’s Fine Arts program\, her practice is informed by close observation\, scientific curiosity\, and a deep appreciation for nature. Olavarria has taught extensively throughout the region and is affiliated with numerous arts organizations\, including The Contemporary Dayton. \nAll artworks in the exhibition are available for purchase\, with proceeds supporting both the artist and The Contemporary Dayton’s mission to connect artists and audiences through accessible\, engaging contemporary art experiences. \nOpen to all current artist members\, the Member Spotlight Exhibitions are an ongoing series that offers participants the unique opportunity to present a focused body of work in a solo exhibition at The Contemporary Dayton. Each exhibition is installed in The T. Chase Hale & Jonathan A. Hale Gallery and remains on view for one month\, opening with a public reception on the first Wednesday and continuing through the last Saturday of the month. These exhibitions not only highlight the diverse practices and perspectives of our members but also provide a professional platform for artists to gain visibility and engage directly with audiences. Participation in the Member Spotlight series is one of the many valuable benefits of being an artist member of The Contemporary Dayton.

These world-class musicians go to great lengths to faithfully create every sound on the original albums in a concert setting.
