It’s Wednesday and there is live music to gladden your heart. What’s good this week?
On Thursday, August 1, enjoy a night of “iridescent sounds and storytelling” at Dwell DC, from 4-11 p.m. Someone please go and tell me what iridescent sounds are like– I am intrigued. Tickets.
On Friday, August 2, the Pie Shop has an intriguing line-up: Stig brings the funk and a band called Derd Berner brings… “white boy funk and folk alt rock, but we have a tendency of jamming out too.” It promises to be an interesting night. Listen (STIG). Tickets.
Saturday, August 3, at Rock & Roll Hotel, go catch two local bands, The Neuro Farm and Faux Rex, as well as a New Orleans-based group that likes playing with vocal arrangements and creating a textured, complex sound, Mighty Brother. Listen/tickets.
If you want to have your mind blown by some great vocals, go to City Winery on Tuesday, August 6: Angela Johnson’s warm, bright voice may even remind you of Whitney Houston– yes, I went there. Listen/tickets.
Wednesday, August 7, is First Wednesday, which means that you can catch Laura Tsaggaris at Trusty’s, starting at 8 p.m. Info.
