File this one under, “Things that make Capitol Hill even more awesome:” This Saturday, September 27, you can catch a live Bluegrass performance by Stefan Custodi and The Knucklebusters at Penn Exxon, 1201 Pennsylvania Avenue SE, from 2-6 pm. You can catch them on your way to, or coming back from, Barracks Row festival!
In addition to selling gas and helping you out with your car-maintenance needs, Mo and the rest of the crew at Penn Exxon are patrons of the arts as well. Long-time customer and friend of the station, Stefan Custodi (guitar), started to hang out at Penn Exxon because they do “honest excellent work on my car.” Stefan mentioned the idea of performing live music at the station to Penn Exxon owner Mo Hajjaj. Why not hang out, have a great party with musician friends, and enjoy a beautiful fall afternoon? Stefan recruited musician friends Danny Booth (bass), Mike Munford (banjo), Tom Mindte (mandolin) and Tom Lyons (fiddle), who have won accolades for their performances. They all play for different bands, such as Dirty Kitchen and Only Lonesome –which plays at The Argonaut the second Thursday of every month.
There will be beer and barbecue on Saturday, in addition to the music; but most importantly, there will be a lot of friends jamming together and having a great time. Join the fun!
