Last Saturday evening, The Dayton Underground Series kicked off to a packed house at WO Wrights Grill & Pub! Fans started arriving about an hour before the show, ready to hear some killer music, and that is exactly what they got!

For six years, guitarist Chris Stewart embarked on a life where it didn’t involve playing music of any kind.  “My wife  and I  owned a bar in Southern Indiana at one point last year.  Closed it down.  Moved to Florida on a whim,” Stewart    explained.  Before the decision to step away from music, Stewart was occupying his days being part of a band that  continued to be off and on throughout their high school days and a little afterwards.  One of the bandmates took a job  in  Denver to work for a church’s cable television station doing audio.  “I got invited to go out there and work on a  project  with a different drummer that he met, who was a pastor at the church.”  Stewart received the demos, bought  an airline  ticket, and flew out.  Soon after-Stewart comes back, packs his belongings and moves to Denver.
