SUMMARY:Turning Jane
DESCRIPTION:Turning Jane is a four-piece independent and self powered rock band from Los Angeles redefining modern rock for a new generation. Self-described as “Hot Girl Rock\,” they fuse classic rock riffs\, punk attitude\, and undeniable pop hooks into a sound built for a young\, insatiable audience. At its core\, Turning Jane is about friendship\, freedom\, and carving your identity in a world that constantly tries to define it for you. Before industry co-signs or headline slots\, the band was cutting their teeth in dive bars they weren’t old enough to enter\, earning real fans the hard way and commanding every room they stepped into. In 2026\, the band will hit the road supporting High Fade and Geena Fontanella while launching their first headline tour across small clubs in the US to coincide with a new album that will be released in June 2026.  EVENT DETAILS Venue: The Brightside (905 E 3rd St) – Inside the SideDoor room Date: August 7\, 2026 / Time: 7pm – 10:30pm Age Limit: 18+ Tickets: GA Single Ticket Advance: $20.99 GA Single Ticket DOS: $25.99 GA 4 Pack of Tickets: $65.99 Pro Tip: Grab your tickets early to save some cash\, and secure your spot!

SUMMARY:Feelin’ Alright! A Celebration of Joe Cocker’s Mad Dogs & Englishmen
DESCRIPTION:Step back to 1970 and experience the raw\, electrifying energy of Joe Cocker’s legendary Mad Dogs & Englishmen Tour brought to life by some of Dayton’s finest musicians. Local powerhouse vocalist Matt Byanski leads this massive ensemble through the classic songs from the Deluxe soundtrack that accompanied the iconic 1971 concert film. Covering the invaluable role of the great Leon Russell\, veteran Dayton rockers Nick Mitchell and Jimmy Rogers bring decades of stage experience to the guitar and keys. True to the spirit of the original tour\, this show goes big — featuring a 10-piece choir led by Sharon Lane\, Kat Givens\, Khrys Blank\, and Vicki Brown alongside a roster of talented local singers. And just like Cocker’s famous lineup\, the band rolls with dual kit drummers Josh Johnson and Steve Phelps\, anchored by percussionist Erich Reith. This is more than a tribute. It’s a full-scale revival of one of rock’s greatest live moments\, performed by a community of musicians who live for this music. He’s gonna need a little help from his friends — and they showed up. How to Go Date: Friday\, November 6\, 2026 Venue: The Brightside\, Dayton\, OH Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM Tickets: $20 advance / $25 day of show *Reserved Tables: Available Ages: All ages welcome *Tables can only be purchased one at a time.
