To switch up from my last column about 90s Alternative, I’ve decided to do a 180 and review a classic from the classic rock era (fittingly). Who better to encapsulate this era than the iconic David Bowie, a global rockstar of massive proportions. If you couldn’t tell...
Months ago, my cousin Grace (who lives here in DC) reached out to me to ask if I’d be interested in joining her at a concert. She and her husband, Austin, would be going to DC9 to watch a friend of a friend open for another artist. So, on the first Tuesday of...
On the DL is back for another semester! It’s been a hot minute since I last wrote. In that time I have been spending my Sundays watching Formula One which also means unwillingly listening to the Dutch national anthem. While that has been a constant in my life, this...
Just as expected, Field Medic’s show felt like a meeting with an old friend. What was unexpected was the insane power and sheer raw talent that could not be captured through his albums. Even his live albums did not do the complexity of his voice and composition...

Did anyone else have a childhood where the most exciting thing you could possibly do on a weekend or summer day was go to the library? I still remember vividly the feeling of my mom passing a tote bag to me in the back seat of her Honda Pilot and sending me up to the...
Renowned electronica artist George Clanton is arriving in D.C. just around the corner… if you have a free Wednesday night, you might want to make it to his show at the 9:30 Club that evening at 7:00 p.m. Joined by his label contemporaries Frost Children and Death’s...
The Chuck Taylor All Star Converse, first introduced to the public in 1949, is arguably the epitome of the “classic” shoe. This sneaker set the foundation of the shoe as versatile. It could be dressed up, dressed down and overworn without others batting an eye. What...
