Dayton Unknown will be on Gem City Tonight!
We’ve been talking about the new local late-night style talk show Gem City Tonight a lot lately, and we are pleased to say that Dayton Unknown will be appearing as guests on the show!
We taped our appearance last night, and had such a blast doing it. The crew and audience were such a great group to be around.
You can watch our segment during the show that will air on Saturday, March 16th at 8pm.
According to DATV’s website, “DATV can be seen exclusively on Spectrum channel 5 in the City of Dayton, Riverside and Butler Twp. and channels 5, 6, or 23 in Dayton’s northern suburbs.” In addition, you can live-stream, and watch on YouTube.
“Realign” by Matt Penny
Releasing today! Realign is an instrumental album by local artist, Matt Penny. We talked to Matt and asked for some information about his album and honestly, he said it best:
“Realign has been the longest project I’ve ever worked on. I started initially in late 2015. I realize now I was way too ambitious when it came to my expectations. I had released some stuff in high school, but I wanted something that sounded a little more professional. I had been in recording studios before and thought you basically just turned knobs until it sounded good. I had no idea that mixing/mastering/engineering music was a whole other level of skill. It’s an art in itself, just like song writing.
