The Surf Junkies
The Surf Junkies hail from the Washington, DC region and though geographically located close to political gridlock, the band echoes themes of sunny beaches, fun and mega surf. The rockabilly group boasts a sound that is The Ventures and Dick Dale meets Aquaman.

Adamare
ADAMARE (ad- to , amare - love) is a group of multi-instrumentalist musicians who happen to all be teachers at the same DC public school. Often described as soul-jazz-rock fusion, the band combines punchy rhythms, sultry singing, evocative lyrics, and stirring soul. After forming in late 2021, the band has finally had the opportunity to start recording and playing shows after the COVID school shutdowns. The band will release its first EP during the spring of 2023. With Giavanti Greenaugh on bass, Nate Harris on keys, Ben Byrd and Joe Robinson on guitar, Alex Baron on drums, and the incredible Claire Tucker on vocals, this soul-jazz-rock fusion group is ready to take the music to the next level.

Flex Mathews
Flex Mathews is half curious kid while the other half is a simple man with something to say on the mic. Sometimes he says it with a freestyle, song, poem, or an acappella. Whatever way he chooses just know that the curious kid and the simple came up with it together.
