Some of the artists playing Dayton Music Fest have been playing locally for more than 30 years.

“We love to feature local artists both seasoned and brand new,” Johnson added. “You have acts like Haunting Souls and The Mulchmen who have paved the way for all of us to be here and then you have acts that are pretty much brand new and making their debut. I also want to give a shout out to Joe Andrel who has played every single DMF ever.”
