From a press release:
“BYT Media today announces dates, location and initial talent for a thrilling new edition of their project: Death Becomes Us – A True Crime Festival – WASHINGTON D.C. EDITION. The multi day event is the second edition of the festival, which saw its premiere edition in Washington D.C. in 2018 and a Spring 2019 edition in New York City. The event is expected to attract upwards of 8000 attendees at Lisner Auditorium, November 8-10th, with warm up events and content leading up to it.
“The response to the inaugural D.C. edition was overwhelming, and so we are doubling up on festivals in 2019.” – says Jenn Tisdale, festival’s director – “The line-up will have some crossover with some of our favorite talent that spoke in Washington and New York previously, but our goal is to build a festival that is RIGHT for D.C. now.”
The initial talent announcement includes #1 true crime podcast in the country Murder Squad w/ Paul Holes and Billy Jensen, a live edition of Amanda Knox’s The Truth About True Crime (with a very special guest to be announced), a special true crime edition of Throwing Shade with Erin Gibson and Bryan Safi, as well as the return of some sold-out hits from the 2018 edition, including Buzzfeed Unsolved Live.
PLUS:
As always, expect more talent to be announced soon and festival surprises along the way: from the return of the Death Becomes Us pop-up bar to screenings, book events, happy hours, meet and greets and more.
Individual show tickets and information will be released on a rolling basis starting this week, but currently for those wanting to reserve their spots the Death Becomes Us All-Access Pass i s available right now. This *very* limited quantity pass guarantees entry for all shows at only $150 + fees. These are expected to sell out very fast (the previous D.C. edition sold out in less than 48 hours)
Complete details and updates are always available at DEATHBECOMESUS.COM / /// The all access pass is available now. Individual show tickets will be available on a rolling schedule starting this week.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
