Side Show 6 Lineup Announced, Preview Party Friday Night

As Urban Nights draws closer, the excitement for Side Show 6 is mounting.  The two free evenings of art and music (May 13th and 14th) presented by the Dayton Circus Creative Collective have become a staple of spring in Dayton.  One of the many things that makes this event great is the location; each Side Show transforms an unused space downtown into a colorful arena for art, music and community.  Side Show 6 will actually take place in two locations: the former Yellow Cab building on 4th and Walnut and across the street, Garden Station, the community garden and arts space maintained by the Dayton Circus.

Visual art will include drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, fashion, mixed media and installation pieces all housed in the Yellow Cab building.

Music will mostly alternate between two stages (on in the Yellow Cab building and one at Garden Station) both nights.  Here’s a tentative lineup:

6:00 C. Wright’s Parlour Tricks (Yellow Cab)

If you want to learn more while dancing to some great tunes, the Dayton Circus will be hosting a preview party this week as part of First Friday events at the Yellow Cab building following the free music Garden Station provided by local lucha rockers, Team Void (who will also appear at Side Show 6) and White Powder.  ComeSee is both a preview and fundraiser for Side Show 6 and will feature a sneak peak of some of the visual art that will appear in the full show and music and dancing provided by DJ Jay Madewell of Fab Gear.  The party gets started at 10pm and admission is $5.
