Live Music

Live Demonstrating Artist

Steven Gregory will be performing LIVE at this year's Community Night at Moeller Brew Barn in Troy!

The Dayton, Ohio native, Steven Gregory, first got interested in playing guitar from listening to Dave Matthews, Prince, Eric Clapton and John Mayer. His music encompasses a little bit of everything - from pop, blues, R&B and jazz. Armed with intuition, soulful lyrics and a looping pedal, the talented musician creates an experience for the audience like no other.

"There's a level of human emotion everyone connects with. You can look in the audience and know when they've connected with you." - Steven C. Gregory

Live Demonstrating Artist

Piqua Arts Council has invited father-daughter art duo, Chip & Lydia Williamson, to perform live art demonstrations throughout the evening of the Community Night at Moeller Brew Barn!

Lydia considers herself an abstract expressionist painter and mixed media artist. By day, she is an analytical website manager and by night she is a free-spirited artist who finds her creativity in exploratory experimentation with materials, concepts, and colors.

Lydia and her father, Chip, founded the Casablanca Studio & Gallery in January of 2022. The studio is a part of the Front Street Galleries in Dayton, Ohio, and features new and different themed shows every month.

Live Demonstrating Artist

We were thrilled to have Lydia Williamson - painter, mixed media artist and muralist - at this year's Community Night at Condado Tacos! Lydia was stationed near the entrance of the restaurant, performing live demonstrations throughout the entire evening.

Lydia considers herself an abstract expressionist painter and mixed media artist. By day, she is an analytical website manager and by night she is a free-spirited artist. She finds her creativity in exploratory experimentation with materials, concepts, and colors. She loves not having a plan when painting. Lydia's biggest art inspirations (other than her father, Chip) are Radia Bent Lhoucine, Chaïbia Talal, Henri Matisse, and a handful of contemporary artists. You can find more of her art on her Instagram at @lydia.artistpage.

She and her father, Chip, are owners of the newly opened Casablanca Gallery in Dayton, Ohio. Learn more by clicking the button below!
