“As we ramp up our concert series at Dayton Masonic Live, we couldn’t be more excited to highlight this legendary Southern Indie Rock touring outfit,” said Brian Johnson of Level Up Productions, in a release. “Drive-By Truckers incredible songwriting ability backed by pure raw talent on their instruments will make this a night you do not want to miss.”

Organizers are hopeful audiences will enjoy the intimacy of the show bolstered by the acoustics of the historic venue, which opened in 1928.

“Even with 1700 seats, Dayton Masonic Live is truly special because of its intimacy. There really isn’t a bad seat in the house,” Johnson said. “Drive-By Truckers will be very well represented in this venue.”
