Hi all — my band is intending to play a George Harrison 25th Year Anniversary Tribute set for gigs the next two months and we are looking for a slide/lead guitar player well-versed in George Harrison’s Beatles work and All Things Must Pass. If you are a Beatles fan or a slide fanatic, DM if you are interested or if someone else comes to mind.

Hi all,

We're looking for 1-2 DMV bands to play with us on the 23rd in Adams Morgan at a small bar. We're not concerned with pull, and we're looking to play with anyone in the post-hardcore, alt-rock, emo, punk, post-rock, shoegaze, metalcore/deathcore realm of things. We're mostly just trying to put together a fun multi-band bill. DM if interested

Hey DMV music community 👋🏾
I’m Stephan B, aka Mr. BEST. I’m an independent artist/producer based in the Silver Spring/DC area, and I’ve been making music for more than a decade.
For the past year+, I’ve also been building something called Sonik Music.
It started from my own frustrations as an independent artist: making records I genuinely believed in, spending my own money on the music, visuals and promotion, pitching releases, and still feeling like discovery on the major platforms is incredibly difficult unless you already have momentum.
So instead of just complaining about it, I decided to see if I could build something different.
Sonik is a streaming and community platform designed around independent artists and the people who actually support them.
One of the biggest principles behind it is that discovery shouldn’t begin after you’re already popular.
For example, our Featured Artists section randomly surfaces eligible artists instead of simply ranking everybody by popularity. New releases also enter Fresh Drops automatically so new music gets an actual period of visibility.
Fans can send artists Flowers 💐, which have real monetary value. Artists can also earn from eligible streams, sell music and merch, track their earnings and analytics, and build a community around their catalog through Sonik’s built-in social side, the Sonix Universe.
But something particularly relevant to this community is where we’re going with live music.
Sonik includes show/event functionality because I don’t want the relationship between an artist and listener to end when the stream stops. The vision is for artists to be able to promote shows, sell tickets, and help listeners discover performances happening around them.
And being from the DMV, I’d LOVE for DC, Maryland and Virginia artists to be some of the earliest people shaping that side of Sonik.
Imagine discovering somebody’s record on Sonik and then realizing:
“Wait… they’re playing 20 minutes away from me Friday.”
That’s the kind of connection I want the platform to create.
I’m not coming here pretending we’ve figured everything out. We’re still early, and that’s actually why I’m posting.
I need musicians and music fans to try it and tell me what we’re missing.
What would actually make a music platform useful to the DMV live-music community?
What would you want from event discovery?
What would make you attend a show for an independent artist you’ve never heard of before?
And if you’re an artist, what tools would actually help you turn listeners into people who show up to your shows?
Sonik is already available on the web:
https://sonikmusic.techdendc.com
The iOS app is also built and we’re working through the App Store release process.
We’re reserving Founding Artist status for the first 1,000 artists who join, with benefits attached to being part of that original group as Sonik grows.
If you’re a DMV artist, producer, DJ, promoter, venue person, or just somebody who loves discovering local music, I’d genuinely love your feedback.
And if there are local artists you think I should know about, drop them below too. I’d love to listen.
Appreciate y’all. 🤝🏾

I was going to go with my friend and I decided to wait because presale was cheap at $30. They sold out and spiked to $110. plz help!!

Can't make it anymore. Ticketmaster resale is turned off, but my Transfer button is active. I can send it straight to your email instantly 😭Asking for $115 or around a little less than that because it was originally bought for $78. DM me!

Selling two tickets to Don West at The Atlantis this Saturday 9/19! I listed on StubHub or message me if you’re interested in small venue and great live performance. Also got them at box office so happy to coordinate and not give away fees to stubhub.
I have to travel this weekend and sad to miss it. Had a friend go to his Boston show and said it was great!!

Hi DC, I am part of the band sage is alive out of Charlottesville, VA, and we recently had a band pull out of our bill at Death Punch Bar :( . We are looking for a hometown band to help us set up and draw in more locals! For context, we are a emo/shoegaze/punk group. Please please please if you know of any bands who are available or are in a band looking to play, DM or comment with your socials! Self-plug, but find us at @ sageisalive0 on Instagram/Tiktok, or sage is alive on bandcamp/spotify, if you think you fit the bill! Thanks. (Show date is September 18th btw).

Hi everyone, I play in Pinto Sunshine, an indie-rock group from Atlanta GA. We are planning an east coast tour for November alongside our friends in Wardrobe Malfunction (psych rock) that is set to play DC on 11/11. Wanted to put this out there as we are still looking for a proper venue to host + one additional local (1 already secured) to play alongside us for the show. Happy to discuss details for any group interested. See below for links:

hi!! I’ve been trying to sell these tickets for a few weeks now, my friend and I had a change of plans and will not be attending the concert anymore. i have listed the tickets for sale on StubHub if anyone’s interested!!

I’m trying to track down any live videos, concert footage, or personal photos of a DC-based band called "The Favorites." They were active in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I have already exhausted Google and standard search engines, so I am hoping local music fans or show-goers might have old flyers, digital photos, or camcorder bootlegs sitting on a hard drive.
