“From being the first to supply the now-famous “Landfill Harmonic” Paraguayan children with instruments to servicing nearly 100 instruments for D.C.’s Jefferson Academy, over the past 20 years, D.C.’s Middle C Music (4530 Wisconsin Ave. NW) has been a pillar of the local community and beyond. When word got out in 2004 that the nearby Best Buy was going to build a music store, the community successfully organized on Middle C’s behalf and Best Buy pulled out.

THE SCOFFLAWS
THE FUSS
LEON CITY SOUNDS
$20 / Doors at 8:00 / All Ages
Third wave ska stalwarts THE SCOFFLAWS return to DC from Long Island after over 20 years! Originally formed in 1988, they are one of the most beloved acts from the Moon Ska roster of the 1990s. The band is known for their high energy live shows, technically proficient horn solos and tight arrangements, and eclectic covers of jazz standards.
THE FUSS is a dynamic ska, rocksteady, and early reggae band from Washington, D.C. Their sound pays tribute to the music of 1960’s Jamaica and the British Mod scene, while putting modern slant on these timeless styles.

The amendment to the general management plan would allow the park to: (more…)
