This Friday at Clifton Opera House

The Clifton Opera House will host a very special program on Friday, December 9. Wheels and Sport Fishing USA will take the stage at 7:30pm and Clifton will never be the same again! Two high energy bands will rock the auditorium, don't miss it this blending of pop/dixieland/bluegrass/folk and whatever else they throw in!

Hailing from Yellow Springs, Ohio, Wheels plays a folky, high-energy mixture of everything from bluegrass to rock n’ roll. Known for their trademark three-part harmony vocals, the band consists of Rory Papania on guitar, Sam Salazar playing mandolin and ukulele, Jamie Scott providing percussion and harmonica, and Sam Crawford laying down the bass. Their sound is shaped by an eclectic set of musicians, and the band lists The Avett Brothers, Dr. Dog, and The Band among their biggest influences. Show after show, Wheels delivers an energetic and engaging performance, and every member continually looks to expand their musical horizons.

Also hailing from Yellow Springs is Sport Fishing USA, a 3 piece pop/rock and roll band that has taken Ohio by storm. Band members are Nathan Moore on Guitar and Vocals, Brendan Moore on Bass and Vocals, and David Byrne on Drums. They recently released an album generated by a band of the same name. The album includes alternates between sincere and intelligent folk rock tunes and noodly emotional instrumental electro jams.

The Clifton Opera House is located at 5 So Clay Street, Clifton. Owned and operated by the Village of Clifton. Box office will open at 6:30pm. Advance tickets are available 937.767.2343.
