Tickets on Sale Friday for Tori Amos at Taft Theatre

By

A trailblazing musician, author and activist, Tori Amos has announced a massive North American 2022 tour today, which includes a stop at Taft Theatre in Cincinnati, Ohio on Tuesday, May 24, 2022.

Ocean to Ocean was released digitally and on CD in October and had been made available as a beautiful vinyl package last Friday, January 28. The record received widespread acclaim by fans and media alike, with features spanning Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly, Stereogum, SPIN and NPR. The record debuted at #2 on the Billboard Current Alternative Albums Chart and #6 on the Billboard Album Sales Chart, marking her tenth “Top 10”appearance.

Ocean to Ocean is Amos’ most personal work in years – an album bursting with warmth and connection, with deep roots in her earliest song writing. As communities around the world suffered the loss of life, live music, travel, and much at all to observe, Tori had a difficult time during the pandemic. She descended to an emotional state lower than she had been to for a long time – but the depths became creative, forcing a return to the kind of introspection she recognized from her debut album Little Earthquakes. The new collection is an expression of kinship and love, of emotional and geographical dislocation. It explores environmental concerns, the restraints of the pandemic for those on the cusp of adulthood, empowerment, loss & healing delivered with Tori’s trademark urgency and passion.

A pioneer across multiple platforms, Tori Amos’ second book RESISTANCE, a New York Times Bestseller, was released in 2020. Unrepentant Geraldines was her eighth studio album to debut in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 Chart. Her decidedly feminist stage musical The Light Princess debuted at #2 on the Broadway Billboard Chart. Nominated for multiple Grammy Awards, she was the first major label artist to offer a single for download, has had her songs turned into graphic novels and has produced ground-breaking videos throughout her career. In late 2016 she released the title song “Flicker” to the acclaimed Netflix documentary Audrie and Daisy, addressing issues of high school rape. A noted humanitarian, Tori was the first public voice for RAINN (Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network), which is the United States’ largest anti-sexual assault organization and continues to be member of its National Leadership Council.

Tickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10am on Friday, February 4 at Ticketmaster.com. Tickets can also be purchased without service fees at the Taft Theatre box office during regular box office hours. 

Flagship EC program generated $210M in economic impact

By

Launch Dayton partner the Entrepreneurs’ Center generated $210M in economic impact over the last two years, according to a new report released today.

The 2022 State of Startups in Ohio report is a special supplement in the Dayton Business Journal, Cincinnati Business Courier, Cleveland Business Journal, and Columbus Business First. This report is the result of a collaboration with the Ohio business journals and Ohio’s regional venture development organizations: The Entrepreneurs’ Center, CincyTech, JumpStart, Rev1 Ventures, and TechGrowth Ohio.

These venture development organizations have been a foundation of support and capital for tech-based companies, helping them to generate a $10B economic impact and create more than 10,500 jobs since 2016.

“Ohio startup companies are setting funding records year after year, strengthening the statewide innovative ecosystem,” states a press release. “Startups deliver a significantly larger economic impact than other companies in terms of revenues, investments, jobs, and wages paid.”

Local impact

According to the report, the EC’s Entrepreneurial Services Provider (ESP) Program has generated $210M in economic impact in the Dayton region over the past two years. Last year alone, this portfolio saw a 200% increase in company sales and investments, and achieved significant milestones in their mission to power progress and prosperity, including:

  • Adding 135 portfolio clients
  • Creating 202 new jobs
  • Generating $56M in product sales and $28M in other revenue
  • Raising $15M in external investment capital
  • Launching the Rotunda Investment Fund, a revenue-based investment fund for Dayton-area entrepreneurs and small businesses.

As a result of the EC’s accomplishments over the years, and those of the other highlighted venture development organizations, Ohio ranked 11th among states for fast-growing companies in 2020.

Key highlights

Other key highlights from the report include:

  • 2021 marked the third consecutive year that Ohio companies received over $1 billion in venture capital investment.
  • Ohio’s startup ecosystem has created nearly 11,000 jobs (10,570), with 167 companies funded and $10B in economic impact including $2.87B in exits.
  • Startup success is the key to diversifying regional economies – it allows for expansion into new markets, while also driving innovation within existing industries.
  • Ohio’s remarkable success is the result of an all-in approach in the state – from venture development firms, public and private partners, corporations, investors and entrepreneurs who align to build thriving companies.
  • The impact of Ohio’s startup success reaches far beyond the state, and even the region, as it’s a playbook for what is possible when key constituents align to support the startup ecosystem.
  • Because of Ohio’s entrepreneurs and inventors, the Ohio Third Frontier, and the more than 100 private and public sector partners across the state, Ohio venture development organizations have delivered an astonishing $66 return for every $1 of public funds.
