The 2024 outing for Come Together Dayton is Friday, August 16 and Saturday, August 17 at Yellow Cab Tavern in downtown Dayton. Ahead of this year's show, Come Together co-organizer and drummer Brian Hoeflich visited the WYSO studios for a conversation with music director Juliet Fromholt on Kaleidoscope.
The local musicians comprising Come Together's Beatles tribute band got a lot of real world practice ahead of this year's Dayton show. This spring they took to the rooftops in both Troy and Springfield for performances. Hoeflich said each rooftop location helps determine the set list for the performance.
"At Yellow Cab, we've got enough space up there that we can do our five piece horn section, string quartet, and then the rest of the core band as well. You know, in Springfield and Troy, we had to forego the strings, so yes, that obviously changes quite a bit."
Hoeflich says that when the band steps onto the rooftop for a performance, "It's magic. We're all having a good time [at reheaarsal], but like, to me, when it hits is as we're doing it live at whatever show that we're doing it, that's when I let myself feel the magic and just get into the moment of it."
