Exciting news! We’ll be donating a portion of proceeds from our upcoming @unionstage live stream to @dc_safe, which is the only 24/7 crisis intervention agency for domestic violence in DC. After partnering with them last year, we're lucky to work with them again to spread awareness, especially with October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

DC SAFE helps thousands of survivors each year — first to help them find immediate safety, and then empowering them to break the cycle of violence and start building a better future for themselves and their families. No matter whom the victim, DC SAFE is ready to help. They make the District a better and safer place to live.

This week taking #mondaymeditation in a new direction, creating soundscapes using pieces of some jazz standards. This is what came out of the first few chords of Coltrane's "Naima." All sounds are created on the spot with a sax through effects pedals and looped live.

ICYMI every Monday I'm broadcasting on IG Live a set of ambient music intended as a break for mental health, relaxation, and stress relief.

Repost @rudi_greenberg // After 180 days with no live music, I apparently forgot how to write about seeing live music. So here I am, belatedly writing about my first live music experience in six months (a phrase I never thought I’d have to write).
.
On a recent and lazy Sunday afternoon, I spent 90 glorious minutes watching three of D.C.’s best: @knovomusic guitarist Nikhel Sus, @theronhollowayband bassist Cory Belcher and @aztecsunband drummer John Heinze jam on some jazzy space funk music from a distance on the porch of a Bloomingdale rowhouse. This was especially cool for a number of reasons, beyond the fact that I was finally seeing music played by actual humans from several feet away.
.
I’ve watched @nikhel_sus, @corybelcherbass, and @grooveholmes13 play in different bands at venues across the city, but I’d never seen them all play together and they gelled phenomenally well. I’ve also seen several shows over the years while standing next to each of them in the crowd. That’s been one of the best things about seeing live music in D.C. in recent years: the community of musicians and music fans that I’d always run into at concerts. Even if you went to a show alone, you were never really alone because you’d undoubtably run into someone you knew. I’ve been missing that community almost as much as the music since the pandemic began, so it was nice to see some familiar faces, even if it was behind masks and from a distance.
.
I was also the only one watching consistently from the sidewalk, save for a few people who’d stop to watch for a bit, neighbors listening from their porches, and an audience live on @facebook, which made it extra intimate. As abnormal as this experience was, seeing live music made me feel as close to normal as possible these days. Here’s hoping it doesn’t take six months for the next one. September 6, 2020.

The best Brady Bunch format music performance you’ve seen this month?

Whatever the case, we’re really enjoying these opportunities to create and entertaining. It’s what we love to do!

Tune in to the @palatineparkfairmont FB page this Saturday 9/19 at 8pm Eastern to watch the whole show. It’s riddled with antics and 4th wall breaks. You’ll love it!
