While I was in Washington DC, I was thrilled to finally catch a concert performance at the Library of Congress, which was the this excellent Meta4 performance!

Jessie ware released her dancefloor banger What’s Your Pleasure during the pandemic which killed any chance of seeing her tour that album, but luckily her recent That Feels Good! album is a delightful extention of that dace party. So thrilled I was able to catch her sold out performce at the 9:30 Club in Washington DC.
Nation of Language have been hitting my sweet spot these last couple albums with their 80’s synth sound. I wasn’t surprised to see they sold out the Grog Shop on this Saturday night.
Miss Grit opened.
I’ve been lucky enough to have met Peter Yarrow and have seen Peter Paul and Mary multiple times, and this is all thanks to my friend Tim Smith. I couldn’t have been more thrilled that Peter is still touring and I was able to take Tim to see and talk with his dear friend once again.
The venerable John Gorka opened, and what a delightful man he is.

I’d seen Generationals three tims already, and this was probably my least favorite. The band sounded fine, but these guys didn’t seem like they were enjoying themselves on stage.
