Naylor Court, a five-piece indie-rock outfit from Washington, D.C., has a little something for everyone. Wilco fans will love guitarist John Ray’s heartfelt vocals and Alex Hervish’s sweeping violin lines. Piano lovers rejoice: Ben Richman’s keyboards caress and bring out the subtleties of the song. Rock enthusiasts and fellow musicians will appreciate the stellar rhythmic talents of bassist Aaron Miller and drummer Sebastian “Sebas” Restifo. Just about everybody will enjoy the group’s eclectic canon of covers, ranging from Real McCoy’s “Another Night” to Old Crow Medicine Show’s “Wagon Wheel.”

Feed the Meter is a DC-based funk and progressive rock group, and is the latest evolution of DC staple East Coast Caravan. Eric Walker (Guitar/Vocals), Quentin Cantu (Drums), and brothers Nick (Lead Guitar/Vocals) and Alex Blanton (Bass) make up the four-piece band, which takes energetic funk rhythms and riffs and infuses them with earthy tones, lush harmonies, and explosive jams. One of the band's strongest suits is its wide range and patterns of tension and release -- one minute they're charging up a mountain and the next minute they're floating in the shallow waves. The peaks and valleys of their live shows are not to be missed.

The Beirds are a DC-based space rock nuclear fusion band. The Beirds will not rest until you are happy. The Beirds are what grease the wheels of Washington. Call your senator about The Beirds. The Beirds work to keep the volume of commercials on your TV at the same volume as the actual programs. The Beirds have read all the tiny words after every advertisement for you just to keep you safe. The Beirds have an adjusted inflation rate and care about starfish more than you know. The Beirds are funky like the goo inside run-flat tires. The Beirds are the bipartisan agreement you wish you had brokered for yourself.
