Help out Canal Street’s Mick Montgomery!

ImageWe can all help out a consummate Dayton music legend!  How often is it that we can do that?  A man who has created an amazing venue that has given a stage to a regular weekly musician’s cooperative, hosted local musicians and bands, been a venue for great regional and national acts, and treated all musicians with kindness and support needs our help.

Mick has been ill for a while now and has seen medical bills escalate.  Please take a few minutes and give a small bit of support to someone who has gone out of his way on a regular basis for great music.

Take a moment to visit the effort — Mick Montgomery’s Hospital Bills Fund http://ow.ly/rjnmI — at GiveForward.com!

New Motel Beds video

One of Dayton’s saviors of rock and roll, our own Motel Beds keep getting attention for their ‘we are not afraid of guitar’ songs. Their video for the second song on their terrific new album, Dumb Gold is called “Valentimes”. Remember now and do not forget that the ‘Beds have made Dumb Gold available for a name your own price — that means it could be free but you really should cough up a few dollars! Great music for your music listening pleasure!

Once you hear a Motel Beds song, you cannot go back!
