The Jamboree and firsts happening in May

Just three more weekends until the first ever Bellbrook Jamboree.

The Jamboree will be May 16th, 17th, 18th at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia. It is a weekend of camping and music featuring national and regional Bluegrass and Americana artists.

The line-up includes such national performers as The Dan Tyminski Band, Josh Ritter, Dry Branch Fire Squad, King Wilkie, and The Farewell Drifters. Also local performers like the Wild Breed Boys and Wes Tirey will perform.

In preparation for the first event of it’s kind, I will begin a series posts introducing the bands who are playing. Stay Tuned.

Visit www.bellbrookjamboree.com for tickets and more info.

The other big May first will be the first ever ‘Rock for RAINN’ concert.

The other big May first will be the first ever ‘Rock for RAINN’ concert.

This rock and roll benefit for RAINN (rape, abuse, and incest national network) is scheduled for Sunday, May 18th.

It will be an all day affair featuring ten bands at Club Masque beginning at 3pm.

Event organizer and bass player for local indie band the Gem City Saints Raymond Whistel, told me last week that “Rock for RAINN is a go” and that “the line up and sponsors are set in stone.”

The line-up is as follows: Switchblade Serenade, Accidently On Purpose, Luxury Pushers, Chow Pow Socialite, Grizzzzy Bear, Freak The Mighty, The Revulvas, Gem City Saints, Atomic Johnny, and The Sics.

Get in the Halloween spirit with a ghost hunt or a haunted house tour [things to do]

Haunted House Waynesville

Perhaps you've heard stories from Room No. 4 at the Hammel House in downtown Waynesville — the site of a gruesome 19th-century murder. Or maybe you've heard tales from the Friends (Quaker) Meeting House. A candlelight flickers in the window, perhaps signaling long-dead conductors on the Underground Railroad. With more than 30 haunted houses, Chris Woodyard of Beavercreek, author of the "Haunted Ohio" book series, says Waynesville is easily the "most haunted town in Ohio." Call and schedule a haunted tour, and maybe you'll spot some ghosts. More »
