August 1: Justin Jones
The music of Washington, D.C. based singer-songwriter Justin Jones has been described by The Washington Post as “electrified country and roots-rock that leaves plenty of space for Jones to hold court…like Dave Grohl when at full throttle and Townes Van Zandt when at ease.” The Virginia native has toured North America and headlined popular venues such as The Hamilton and the 9:30 Club.
August 8: Lauren Calve
Washington, D.C. area singer-songwriter, guitar and lap steel player Lauren Calve has brought vital new energy to the Americana scene. On her latest EP, Wildfire, Calve delves into complex issues ranging from the increased polarization and divisiveness prevalent in the US and around the world, corporate greed and their role in both the climate crisis and gun violence, women’s’ stories that are dominating public consciousness, and even the precarity of online dating.
