Georgetown Rocks This Saturday

Ask any local musician who has shoehorned themselves and their band onto a stage like JVs, or stuffed themselves into an alcove flanked by a women's room and cases of beer. Why do they do it?
It's definitely not for the money, and certainly there's not much glory in lugging equipment up and down Blair-Witchy type stairs to a beer soaked basement.  Most will tell you they do it because they love to gig and because…it's just what they do.

Come this Saturday however, local favorites The Thrillbillys, The Rhodes Tavern Troubadours and  the David Kitchen Band will be spreading their wings for a roots rock extravaganza which might be the DC show of the Summer in a rather spacious room that is Gypsy Sally's in Georgetown. (capacity 300)

Space to dance, tables and chairs and a separate bar on the side. The talent on this rare triple bill are one of the main reasons I keep flogging at this blog so please show up and show these guys we know why DC rocks.
