Thanks to Manny for sharing the news about Shanklin Hall after seeing our post earlier this morning.

Shanklin Hall’s website says:

“Over the last 3 years, you’ve inspired us to create one-of-a-kind events in diverse spaces throughout our beloved D.C. Thank you. Every experience brought us closer to you and our ultimate goal: opening a social club centered at the intersection of community, creativity, and wellness.

In November, we secured our brick-and-mortar location at 2325 18th Street NW (the historic Columbia Station) on the Adams Morgan Main Street. This will be our home, our flagship – a hub for collective elevation and cultural development. (more…)

From the National Gallery of Art:

“DC’s favorite summer concert series is back! Every Friday, from May 19 through August 4, our Sculpture Garden will come alive with musical performances including jazz, Latin fusion, bluegrass, and more.

This season captures the breadth of the American musical experience with Latin fusion from ¡Tumbao! on May 26, zydeco from Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas on June 23, Indigenous fusion from D’DAT on June 30, and funk and soul from the 8 Ohms Band on July 28. Another highlight is a special Juneteenth celebration concert with the Muneer Nasser Quintet on June 16, one of seven local acts this year.

Due to high demand, we are instituting a free lottery system so that anyone interested in attending Jazz in the Garden has an equal chance to participate. Each concert will have its own lottery, which will open the week prior on Monday at 10:00 a.m. and close that Friday at noon. (more…)

Friday Question of the Day – Favorite Concert You Ever Saw at 9:30 Club? Most recent?

By Prince Of Petworth

While we wait for The Atlantis to open, let’s take the opportunity to revisit our favorite shows from the 9:30 Club? My favorite remains Sturgill Simpson (though my first Thievery experience was pretty magnificent too) and I’m super excited to be going to Drive-By-Truckers next month – it’ll be my first show there since the pandemic. Can’t wait. You guys? Favorite all time? Most recent show you saw there? Do you find you’re going to as many shows as you used to, or much less frequently?
