Y! MyWebRockers Magic Jackson win 2008 Dayton Band Playoffs
Monday, September 22, 2008
Local duo The Joose Box brought its "A" game to the finals of the 25th annual Dayton Band Playoffs at Canal Street Tavern on Saturday, Sept. 20, delivering two sets of piano based pop-rock before a packed house.
However, Magic Jackson, which only formed in early June, was equally amped for the occasion, dropping a pair of groove-heavy sets that got the crowd moving. Both acts performed with passion and drive, and both attracted large crowds, but in the end only one act could win.
And on this night, it was Magic Jackson, taking top honors by only four votes, placing the group alongside past Dayton Band Playoff winners such as Audible Influence, Brainiac, Shrug and Mona.
