Josh Fialkoff plays Friday for Red Hot
posted: Apr 23rd 2013 :: 5:08pm
We thought you'd like to know our Friday night band is for Red Hot Blues 'n BBQ 2013. It's none other than pianist and vocalist Josh Fialkoff. He's played all over for dancers including locally for a rollicking houseparty at the Keep as part of Dan/Pam/Rachel's birthday party as well as LaB love up in Philly in January. We're really excited he's bringing his band on down to play for us and start things off right in the Back Room. Here's some more information about him and his band.
Out-Of-Town Events
Some say our locals should travel more. More? I think DC knows how to show up at another event and represent, but it can't hurt to encourage you all to travel more for dancing. It's a great way to help grow the community, make new friendships, and bring back new ideas to Washington, D.C. Here is a list of upcoming blues-dancing events you might want to check out:
