Hidden Gem Music Club, anew live music venue at the Normandy Square Shopping Center, has been in the works for a while, originally filing for their liquor permit in August of 2019. Co-founder Tony Scmidt says the plan is for them to host local bands and musicians while brining in some outside acts every now and then. The line up will include rock, blues, funk, jazz and hip hop, with the hopes to appeal to a broad audience.

Located behind The Submarine House at 507 Miamisburg- Centerville Road, this spot has a long history in Dayton nightlife, formerly housing the Normandy Banquet Center, Intrigue, The Liquid Room and so many more.

The music line up for opening week is as follows:
