Dunaways and Class Acts Entertainment is proud to bring you an evening of Autism Awareness & Fundraising featuring BLUE SPECTRUM and special guests THE JOE COWELS BAND. And a portion of proceeds from the evening events will go directly to the Dayton Autism Society (DAS).
BLUE SPECTRUM is the 2024 Winner of the Columbus Blues Alliance Blues Challenge and represented Columbus in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN. The hearts and soul of BLUE SPECTRUM is their gifted guitarist, Zayne Harshaw. Diagnosed with autism at the age of four, this determined young man taught himself to play the acoustic, electric and bass guitars at the age of 14. But it was his introduction to the blues sound that provided the musical construct from which he developed his own style. Zayne was also part of a four-piece youth blues band which represented the Columbus Blues Alliance at the 2016 International Blues Challenge’s Youth Showcase held in Memphis, TN. His amazing abilities as a guitarist has taken him to San Antonio, TX, Harrisburg, PA, Rockville, MD and all over Ohio. Zayne also received the 2017 Community Star Award from the Franklin County Board of DD. You can learn more about them online at https://bluespectrumband.com/
Opening for BLUE SPECTRUM will be the return of THE JOE COWELS BAND. Joe has graciously participated in another charity event at Dunaways and lights the stage up with his own gift of guitar. Joe has received an ARAA Gold Record, was featured on the June 2024 cover of Underground Success Magazine, and has appeared in articles for City Beat, Dayton Daily News, Dayton Music Scene, and many, many more. He is sponsored by Stephens Amplification and Rimrock Effects, both of whom have partnered with him to make Signature products. You can learn more about him and his band at https://joecowelsmusic.com/
In addition to hosting two amazing bands, the evening will also include a 50/50 Drawing and Prize Raffles. As this is also a fundraising event, we will be accepting donations at the door in lieu of a cover charge.
