This Presidents’ Day weekend, it’s time to honor Washington, DC. After all, the 6 Old Guys are a DC bunch – 4 of us federal workers, one of us a government lawyer for a neighboring state, and the last a rabbi leading a national social justice advocacy organization. And all of us steeped in the last few decades of DC music. So it’s time to give our hometown scene some love. Although America has yet to elect a woman president, we focus especially on women of DC rock and roll, ranging from high school students to quintessential “DC” writing/rocking to legends, including one of the best vocalists and songwriters in the city’s history in one of her multiple supergroups (and we give some thought to supergroups while we’re at it). We may not have representation in Congress, but we very much deserve a vote for best rock scene in the country.
Doesn’t seem like they play a ton. Saw online they opened for Drive-By Truckers at the 40 Watt last week. Seems like a good pairing. And an appropriate venue.
I’ve been digging The Interrogator. Doesn’t seem like Nelson plays live shows, which is too bad. Really wish Priests was still making music.

A great pairing on hallowed ground
I appreciate the shout-out to Let’s Active and the Athens scene.
