Your Dayton Music Insider is in vacation mode, so this is a short but sweet run down on all the fun shows I’m missing out on this weekend. Be sure you don’t miss out because there sure are some pretty sweet shows happening! Friday April 28th Cincinnati’s Frontier Folk Nebraska is performing with Dayton’s Manray at Trolley…

Recently we have been wondering what makes for a great music experience? What makes a venue a great place to see a band? Is it the ‘feel’ of a place? Is it the camaraderie of the staff, fellow music lovers, musicians? Or is a great place a matter of the sound in a space? Does great sound equal great experience? Maybe it is the fact of seeing your favorite performer(s) or hearing a song that you adore that makes a place special?
What do you think? Is it one of those reasons or is it something more about the culture of a location, street, neighborhood that makes for a powerful experience at a show?
Artist: EARTH, WIND & FIRE Album: ALL ‘N ALL [Welcome to Forty Year Friday, the weekly series on my favorite albums of 1977] The funk/soul/R&B/pop collective known as Earth, Wind & Fire were on an incredible creative & commercial winning streak when they released their 8th studio album, All ‘N All, at the end of […]
I love seeing live music, as you all know, but I do like my recordings too. Getting tracks laid down in the studio is not only expensive, it’s a time intensive, and methodical process. For that reason, I’m always so thrilled and impressed when our local bands release an album. This weekend, local punk band…
This Tuesday we are excited about having The Dead Licks in the studio playing live and chatting about their new record! They will join us in an expanded edition of YTAA at the 7pm hour! So, join us at 3pm as usual and hang out a little longer as we become Your Tuesday Evening Alternative until 8pm!
You can check out their sound on the terrific music on their Soundcloud page!

In indie music, 2017 has been a great year for music so far and there is no reason to expect it to slow down. We are enjoying new music from Smug Brothers, Son Volt, The Rallies, Guided by Voices, Mark Cantwil, Tashaki Miyaki, Ha Ha Tonka, Spoon, Folk is People, Scott Swain, Al Holbrook, Dreamsalon, Hater, The Magnifiers, Dude York, and The New Pornographers — to just name a few.
We are still listening to tunes from last year from artists like Bleached, Shrug, Mike Adams at his Honest Weight, and Me Time. Again, there is so much more but those CDs and EPs are constantly fighting for space in our CD player! This year we are making a real effort to not only discover great new music to share with you but also to bring musicians into the studio. It is far too easy to get stuck, to limit yourself and simply do the same thing over and over.
Independent music for everyone!
Our hope with Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative is to break out of the same day, same songs, same plan approach to radio and introduce new music and new songs to our listeners. And you can help! If there are songs or artists that we should be playing, let us know. Contact us here or email us at drjwudr at gmail!
Even if you do not make any suggestions, please consider joining us every Tuesday from 3-6pm for YTAA and on occasional Tuesdays until 8pm and stay a little later with us as we have performers come into the performance studio and play for all of us.
It was a rare treat to have Tod Weidner in the WUDR studios so we have to share a few more photos with all of you! All photos courtesy of Gabrielle Elizabeth Studios.
