Appalachian migrants frequented Ohio storefronts that offered a bar, cigarette machine, jukebox, wooden tables, a dance floor, stage and a three-piece band. Ruby’s White Sands, Little Mickey’s, Horseshoe Bar, Tom’s Tavern, Circle Bar and others in Dayton featured future stars such as Bobby and Sonny Osborne, Noah Crase, Red Allen, Frank Wakefield, Larry Sparks, Joe Isaacs, and Roy Lee Centers, playing fast and loud nightly around one microphone and forging an urban bluegrass sound. Performers at Cincinnati’s Ken-Mill Cafe and other early venues included Earl Taylor and the Stoney Mountain Boys, Jim McCall, Walter Hensley, Vernon “Junior” McIntyre, and Benny Birchfield. Bluegrass revival fans in the 1970s went to Cincinnati’s Aunt Maudie’s Country Garden, where Katie Lauer was a pioneer female bandleader.
