Miles to Dayton will take the stage this November at our monthly Hard Luck Café concert!
Miles to Dayton’s music happens at a personal level, their
message of love blending elements of folk, rock, classical, and funk into an irresistible
invitation. The M2D recipe is simple: four-part vocal harmony, clever
songwriting, improvisational violin and cello, and an infectious rhythm section
that stirs up the creative stew.
At the heart of their unique marriage of styles lies a
real-life marriage: vocalist Krista Preddice shares the
microphone with husband Jonathan Preddice, who, in addition to
being the principal songwriter for the group, also shines on
vocals, guitar and cello. Bassist Dave March (Krista’s
brother) and dynamic violinists Leanne Strom and Alisa
Rabbitt (Jon’s sisters) add depth to the vocal harmonies, with Dave’s
low, soulful bass and the double violin soaring classical virtuosity providing
the sonic bookends for the M2D sound.
Having built a large grass roots following of fans young and
old, Miles to Dayton has become a fixture on the Long Island music scene,
having headlined performances at the Patchogue Theater and sold out the Boulton
Center, with notable gigs at the Paramount Theatre, Great South Bay Music
Festival and the NoFo Rock and Folk Festival. They’ve been the featured artist
at the Acoustic Long Island Podcast and Summer Concert, emerging artist at the
Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and have performed in intimate listening rooms such
as Club Passim in Boston, and the Living Room in NYC.
Equally at home in the acoustic or full band setup, m2d has
shared the stage with the likes of The Infamous Stringdusters, Rhett Miller,
The Subdudes, Jorma Kaukonen, The Dirt Farmer Band, Tom Paxton, Southside
Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, and Richie Havens, to name a few. The band
has been featured in O, The Oprah Magazine; ValsList; the Long
Island Pulse; and the Lefsetz Letter.
