Hairborn Rocks Into Its 5th Year in Downtown Fairborn! | | |
Downtown Fairborn is about to get loud! Mark your calendars for Friday, September 19, as we welcome back Hairborn, a free, family-friendly night of live rock music and local craft brews. From start to finish, this event promises high-energy performances, great drinks, and an unforgettable night out in the heart of the city.
The music kicks off at 5:00 p.m. with Saint Hellion, a powerhouse band from Dayton known for their unpredictable setlist. Their bold vocals, shredding guitars, and pure rock ’n’ roll energy will set the tone for the night. Then, at 7:00 p.m., the stage belongs to Crazy Train – The Ultimate Ozzy Tribute, hosted by Vinny Cormier, the most electrifying Ozzy impersonator around. With stunning special effects, and all the hits from Black Sabbath to Patient #9, Crazy Train delivers a show that feels every bit as “live and loud” as the real thing.
The event begins at 4:00 p.m., giving you time to grab a brew, find your spot, and get ready to rock. Whether you’re a lifelong Ozzy fan, a local music lover, or just looking for a fun night out, Hairborn is the rock show you don’t want to miss.
