What a crazy week! It's been hectic and heavy for sure. However, we're excited for the weekend to come, and luckily Saturday's looking unseasonably warm ☀️ We can't think of a better time to come together through music for a socially-distanced drive-in show.

We'll be playing from inside @crescendostudiosva in Falls Church and our performance will be screened outside in the parking lot, where you can watch and listen safely from your vehicle 🚗. Dan Lipton Trio is opening and the series is presented in partnership with @dcmusicreview!

7:30pm doors / 8:15pm show

For the almost 8 years that Aztec Sun been a band,

For the almost 8 years that Aztec Sun been a band, we've been lucky enough to have support from local venues, artists, and music lovers. With the pandemic, unfortunately many of the D.C. venues we've played at or where we've attended shows are in danger of closing. Most of the city’s venues remain shuttered today; we have already lost 5 venues since March, and we don't want to see more follow suit.

The Music Venue Relief Act was drafted by members of the #dcmusic community to provide relief and keep our music community going. Please join us and take action today to #saveDCvenues by clicking the link 🔗 in our bio. You can sign a letter to the mayor and city council, use the email template to show your support, pick up the phone or share the graphics!

Thanks to @unionstage and their crew (@jpferrell_dc, @christiantauler, @_princesstease_, and
@jphester322) for creating a safe social distance space for us to livestream into your homes last night. We had so much fun. Stay tuned, we have two more social distance live shows coming soon.

Thanks to everyone who joined us last night. We donated a portion of proceeds to @dc_safe, 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.

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.
