What We’re Up To


There’s a lot to keep up with this month! Rep your Flashband pride at one (or all) of these events, and make sure you’re on the mailing list to be the first to know about new ones!

Tinner Hill Blues Festival - Saturday, June 13



Stop by Falls Church to see the team at the Blues Festival this weekend! We’ll be hanging out in the vendor area at Cherry Hill Park. Come soak it all in and enjoy a farmer’s market, guitar workshop, instrument petting zoo, history exhibit, BBQ, and lots of blues, blues, blues.

Public Domain Showcase - Sunday, June 14



Our musicians were challenged to pay homage to some of the mainstays of American music from a bygone era and breathe new life into them. Gypsy Sally’s is the perfect setting to showcase some of these foundational musical works. Playing music from the Public Domain gives us the chance to highlight endless country, bluegrass, jazz, and folk standards, and hear some original work by DC artists.

Reunion Happy Hour & Whiplash Screening - Tuesday, June 16



The bonds you form with your one-month band are unbreakable. Relive the fun and meet your Flashband heroes at our Reunion Happy Hour, and don’t forget to a bring a friend you’d like to introduce to the Flashband family. We're taking over the top floor of The Black Squirrel, renowned for craft beer and delicious eats. 

Afterwards, we’ll head to Adam's Morgan Movie Night, outdoors at Marie Reed Elementary School just a couple blocks from the bar. That night they're screening Whiplash, an acclaimed movie about a jazz drummer and his ruthless teacher.

7th Annual Silver Spring Jazz Festival - Saturday, June 20, 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.




Flashband will be jamming at this all-day blues block party, so bring your instrument and come with us! We’ll have TWO tents at the festival, one just for you to come jam, with acoustic instruments available. Soak in music on two stages, vendors, crafts, and plenty of places to eat and enjoy beverages while sitting outside enjoying the music! Festivities begin at 10am, live performances on the Fountain Plaza Stage start at 3pm.
