My Time With The Junior League
Amidst the throng of bands fighting for recognition and success in the district, the Junior League Band has made a name for themselves by playing a unique mix of bluegrass and indie-pop. Led by the singer and banjo player, Lissy Rosemont, they have built a house in DC and a home in the tender hearts of their fans.

Q&A with Iritis
IRITIS blends western music with eastern influences. Their sound bridges many different genres from hard rock to bollywood to piano ballads to psychedelic rock while their lyrics explore philosophical themes and the human condition.

The Long and the Short of It
The path that Middle Distance Runner treads is an original one, although not completely unfamiliar. For example, their music can be similar to bands like The White Stripes, The Strokes, and Gym Class Heroes, however they have carved out their own niche sound and preserved their singular qualities. One of their particular strengths is the ability to pair the odd and absurd with the sweet and divine, resulting in a repertoire of songs we have come to know and love.

Q&A with Kodiak
If you are a proponent of local DC music, chances are you’ve heard of Kodiak. These guys have been around the block and back again when it comes to playing the DC music circuit. Their non-traditional, blues-infused, rock music—combined with strong and sometimes over-the-top performance styles—has helped to distinguish them as a band with solid potential.
