It Takes a Little Heart – Tony Red Band Opens for Classic Rock Royalty

I have often wondered what it would be like to step out on the stage of a sold out show and perform in front of a hometown crowd. For most of us, the dream is just that, a dream, but for hometown favorites, the Tony Red Band, the dream became a reality when the guys got the call to open up for Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s, Heart, at the Fraze Pavilion in Kettering, OH.

As of late January, the site had hosted more than 40 shows and counting, and acts are added to the calendar regularly.

“The goal was to bring live music to Dayton on a bigger scale,” Eckhardt said. “Hara (Arena) stopped doing shows a long time ago. The Nutter Center only really brings in the really big ones (performers). And UD (University of Dayton Arena) hasn’t done concerts in a while.”

Fraze Pavilion in Kettering hosts acts in warmer weather in its popular outdoor venue. Huber Heights plans to open its own music center in May.

But for centrally located, year-round live music in Dayton on a bigger scale, Eckhardt and partners Neil Hixson and Skip Murray saw an unmet need.
