I agree. “The Story Changes” should definitely be a nominee; not just for longevity, but as a quality band with quality musicians and song writing who are building a national following. Another soon to be famous gem in the Dayton music scene.

I know that one of the biggest overall draws would have to be “The Story Changes” as they have been around for a long time. Other than that I would say “The Great American Beast” “Marilyn Avenue” and “The Devil Wears Prada” have probably the biggest fan followings and each are worthy of having press about their band. Let me know if you need any more.

I would like to nominate The Hathaways for Best Local Rock Band. They’ve been playing in Dayton for many years and deserve to be heard. The Hathaways members incude musicians from past WTUE Homegrown albums. They know how to rock a crowd!

Commenting is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. M-F
