The Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts (PTPA) is proud to continue our support of local musicians and songwriters by presenting the “Miles To Dayton” CD Release Performance on the main stage on Thursday, June 21, 2007 at 8:00 pm.

Since releasing their first album, “A Long Way Back” in 2005, M2D has been gaining recognition on the Long Island music scene for their thoughtful songwriting and outstanding musicianship.  Their heartfelt message crosses many boundaries with a loyal audience that crosses several generations. The Miles to Dayton sound ranges from solo acoustic songs to rocking jams, with a distinctive vocal approach, including lead Vocalist Krista March, her brother, bassist David March and guitarist/cellist Jon Preddice.  The three share the lead vocal delivery and also join in outstanding vocal harmonies, while talented sister Leanne Preddice threads her virtuoso violin texture throughout each song.  Percussionist Robert Caniglia provides the solid backbone for this five- piece ensemble that has gained a strong local and regional following.

Miles to Dayton has been hard at work recording their second album, “Rise”, a collection of uplifting songs that promise to be their finest work yet.  They will debut this album and officially release the disc at this very special night at PTPA.  Joining them will be their friend John Flor Sisante, who will join them on keyboards and also perform several songs from his debut album “The Music of Things”.
