ABOUT
US
Our goal with the Dayton Battle of the Bands is to give a platform for the outstanding local musical talent we have in the Dayton community, while providing a prize package that helps launch them to their next level. This series provides a unique opportunity for musical acts to play in a premier Dayton venue and enjoy the networking benefits from music industry professionals.
THE BRIGHTSIDE
The Brightside is the home of Dayton Battle of the Bands. It's a renovated industrial event space for music and events in the heart of downtown Dayton. The venue is owned and operated by Carli & Hamilton Dixon, artists and business owners who have poured their hearts into reclaiming this gem!
Noteworthy and authentic things have been happening in Dayton since its inception, whether the rest of the world noticed or not. With that history and heritage, they could not think of any better love letter to our city than to breathe life into this building and create a destination that makes Daytonians proud.
