From our friends at Adams Morgan Partnership BID...
Family-Friendly Series Kicks Off on Saturday, May 7 at 18th St. and Columbia Road, NW
The Adams Morgan Partnership BID continues their popular Summer Music Series with an eclectic range of local musical talent on Saturdays (except Memorial Day weekend) in May and June from 5:00 - 7:00 PM at the corner of 18th Street and Columbia Road, NW. Expect a wide range of music styles and back by popular demand - HULA HOOPS! We will have a dozen hula hoops each Saturday for adults and kids of all ages to shake your groove thang! We will also have small bottles of bubbles for kids of all ages.
“Adams Morgan is a neighborhood of local independent businesses - so supporting local independent music is a natural extension of that,” says Kristen Barden, Executive Director of the Adams Morgan Partnership BID. “There’s a history of creativity here that we support through free events like this.”
Artist playing the series are: Boat Burning http://www.boatburning.com; Hollertown http://www.facebook.com/hollertown; Oxymorons http://www.facebook.com/OxymoronsDC; Jelly Roll Mortals https://www.facebook.com/jellyrollmortals; Goin’ Goin’ Gone http://GoinGone.net; Dave Ihmels and Friends www.DaveIhmels.com.
“Playing outside during the day, means families can bring their kids, and neighbors can connect” says Doug Hartnett, who's band performs on May 21st.
“Adams Morgan is known for celebrating diversity, and our music is a great match for that” says Scott McKnight of the Jelly Roll Mortals playing on June 4th.
Seating is limited, and is first come, first serve, so show up early! Please feel free to bring your own beach chair. In the event of rain, the concert will be canceled for that day. Due to the nature of the series, there will not be a rain date.
Attendees will be encouraged to stick around after the show and save some money! Adams Morgan Partnership BID will be distributing wristbands that will entitle the wearer to discounts on food, drink, and merchandise at a variety of participating Adams Morgan merchants. A list of discounts and participating businesses will be available at the concert.
