Excursions

Today Joe and Jack Waters joined Niki Dakota in the performance studio. They will be performing at Big Brews and Blues, a fundraiser to benefit Diabetes Dayton, tonight in Dayton. 

It's been five years since Joe and Jack Waters came onto Exursions to talk about their newly released album, 10 + 50. Back then, Joe was only ten years old. The father/son duo has continued to work together and expanded their sound to include Joe on the guitar and vocals. 

Today Wolf Cryer joined Niki Dakota on Excursions to talk about his upcoming performances and, of course, to give a preview performance in the studio. Wolf Cryer is originally from St. Louis Missouri and has been living in Cincinnati for the last 7 years. He will be performing at Taffy's of Eaton Ohio on May 15th and at Ghostlight Coffee in Dayton on May 25th.
