Grab some friends and join us for our FREE Summer Concert Series featuring Eli Waltz and other local artists.

JC Mickenben (August 4) – @jcmickenben
JC is new to the District music scene and plays Folky Americana originals and re-imagined, obscure cover tunes informed by his suburban East Coast upbringing. He writes folk songs about love, loss and moving forward in a complicated world. JC recently played Porchfest and the Marx Cafe as part of the FFDMV music collective.

Christopher Colletta (August 11) – @cccollettamusic
Christopher Colletta’s music is a mix of classic honky tonk country and americana influenced by legends like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson and by new blood like Charley Crockett and Justin Townes Earle. Though not known as a hotspot for country music, his music career began in the streets of Paris, France, turning cafés into honky tonks and even playing for American expats in the U.S. Embassy. *Unprecedented global events* brought Christopher stateside and he recently began playing again in Washington, DC. His next project is an EP of original music, much of which is inspired by the years he spent as an officer in the U.S. Army.

Dylan Dellisanti (August 18) – @dylan_dellisanti
Dylan DelliSanti is an Americana singer-songwriter living in DC’s historic H Street Corridor. Inspired by Bob Dylan, John Prine, Hank Williams Sr., and Conor Oberst, Dylan’s songs are often historical and literary flights of fancy that seek to blur the line between fact and fiction. Many of his songs are based on whatever book he happens to be reading, whatever TV show he happens to be watching, or whatever article he happened to read in the Wall Street Journal that morning. He can typically be found at any ol’ barstool, or, as is often the case, behind the bar shaking drinks and pouring wine. Feel free to buy him a shot of Jameson and give his new EP, The Cairo, a listen.

Nicole June (August 25) – @nicolejuneandthejets
Drawing on the sounds of rock, funk and the blues, Nicole June & The Jets are stirring the pot in Harpers Ferry, WV and Philadelphia, PA. After being active in Philadelphia’s music scene as an artist and session musician for several years, June moved to Harper’s Ferry to join The Jets in what has been a steady upwards ride from the stage to the studio. In just over a year of performing together, the band has been booked to headline locals festivals such as Tall Trees (Media, PA) and Waynestock (New River George, WV) and recently broke the record for number of attendees at a free show while playing the outdoor stage at Virginia’s prominent B Chord Brewing. June has shared stages with artists including The Counting Crows and Valerie June. She has released 2 EPs while her latest single Glad I Tried earned radio airplay on major stations throughout Philadelphia and the Northeast US.

Eli Waltz (August 4 & August 25) – @eli_waltz
Eli Waltz is an Americana folksinger and songwriter, and he is bandleader of Eli & the Waltz. Eli incorporates a fingerpicking style modeled on folk legend Townes Van Zandt, and draws upon the vocal stylings of Ray Lamontagne, Rachael Price and John Lee Hooker. He was inspired early on by recordings of Howlin’ Wolf and Little Walter. They and other blues giants influence Eli’s gruff, dynamic singing voice—as well as his gritty harmonica solos. For Eli, travel and music are inextricably linked. He cut his teeth busking in the streets of Medellin, Tel-Aviv, and Dali, China. And for a long spell, he lived and performed in Beijing. Eli Waltz now lives in Washington, D.C. His debut EP, “Burning Moonlight,” will be released in 2022. The group Eli & the Waltz performs regularly in the DMV, with upcoming tours around the country.
