“It’s funny how our first shot at this already spans across two nights,” said Local Music Day Founder Darryl Robins. “We originally planned Local Music Day as a single-night event, but so many great local bands with new releases wanted to participate that we just had to expand upon our original idea.”

New releases will be available from Overthought Musik, Roley Yuma, MOIRA & TINO, Me & Mountains, Smug Brothers, Andy Gabbard, Mike Bankhead Music & The Paint Splats, Dirty/Clean, Human Cannonball, Sympathetic Buzz, XL427, The Boxcar Suite, Crossfade Rivals, and more.

“The Miami Valley has such a vibrant music scene. It’s really something special,” Robins said. “Local Music Day gives everyone in Dayton and its surrounding communities an amazing chance to hear incredible local music and pick up some fantastic original recordings.”

The event will begin at 7 p.m. both nights. All ages are welcome and guests under 18 require a guardian.

Yellow Cab’s Pizza Bandit food truck will sell food.
