Music

As a music venue, our goal is to help musicians break into the DC market by assisting them in building a following and providing them with resources in the area. We work with out-of-town and under-aged bands as well as more accomplished bands to fill a gap that has existed in DC and Northern Va music for some time. 

Charity

We plan to use the draw of music entertainment to build awareness and raise money for local charities in the area. We believe that art should be deeply rooted the fabric of local community and is an important way to communicate awareness of local issues that deserve attention from the greater public.
