“Dear PoPville,
The classic Easterns jingle has been part of DMV culture for decades, and we recently remixed it with DC Go-Go legends Junkyard Band to celebrate both the legacy of the jingle and 50 years of Go-Go in DC. To mark the moment, we’re hosting a free community Go-Go concert on April 12.
We’re celebrating 50 years of Go-Go and DMV culture by remaking the classic Easterns jingle with Junkyard Band. We’re also collaborating with Capital City Mambo Sauce to debut a commemorative mambo sauce bottle for the event. The celebration will be hosted by DJ Flexx at our Easterns Automotive Group location in Laurel.
It will be a free, family friendly community event with food, entertainment, and more.”

“Let’s Talk About the Jingle
If you’re from the DC, Maryland, or Virginia area, you’ve likely heard the unmistakable Easterns jingle — “Easterns… Where your job is your credit!” For over 35 years, this catchy tune has echoed across local TV and radio, becoming a familiar soundtrack for car buyers across the DMV. It’s more than just a jingle — it’s a trusted reminder that Easterns Automotive Group is committed to helping everyone get behind the wheel, no matter their credit history.
Whether you’re scrolling online, flipping through radio stations, or catching a commercial break, that upbeat melody instantly brings Easterns to mind. It’s iconic, it’s local, and it means business. Because around here, when you hear the jingle, you know you’re in good hands.
A Celebration of What’s Next
To celebrate the newest chapter of the Easterns jingle, we partnered with legendary Go Go band Junkyard Band to bring the sound home to DC culture.
Join us for a free community concert on April 12 at the Easterns Automotive Group Laurel location. The event features a live performance by Junkyard Band, hosted by DJ Flex, with a celebration of local culture through music, community, and collaboration.
In partnership with Capital City Mambo Sauce, a limited edition Easterns x Junkyard bottle will be available at the event while supplies last.
This moment honors where the jingle has been and where it is going next.”
