<h2>Keith Grimes • Dean Dalton</h2>
Two of the DC/MD blues scene’s most respected players join forces for an evening of soulful guitar, deep-pocket bass, and roots-driven grooves.
Keith Grimes is the renowned DC guitarist celebrated for his five-year tenure as lead guitarist with the Eva Cassidy Band. His résumé includes performances with Chuck Brown, Bill Kirchen, The Nighthawks, and many of the region’s finest artists.
Bassist Dean Dalton has anchored acclaimed local jazz and blues projects with artists including Anthony “Swamp Dog” Clark, Linwood Taylor, Bad Influence, Liz Springer, Elliott Levine, Tom Kitchen, and Karl Stoll &amp; The Danger Zone. His Motown, soul-jazz, R&amp;B, and rock influences provide the ideal foundation for Grimes’s expressive guitar work.
Together, Keith and Dean deliver a polished, groove-rich set rooted in blues, jazz, soul, and classic American music—an ideal showcase for two veteran musicians with serious DC musical history.

<h2>Papa Lebas &amp; Gumbo Ya Ya</h2>
<h3>Featuring <a href="https://www.joekrown.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Joe Krown</a></h3>
Don’t miss this majickal, one-night-only show with Papa Lebas &amp; Gumbo Ya Ya featuring New Orleans piano master and Kenny Wayne Shepherd sideman Joe Krown.
Led by songwriter, producer, guitarist &amp; bassist Jeff Muller (aka Papa Lebas), the project is a New Orleans-inspired earthy gumbo of funk, R&amp;B, jazz, blues, zydeco, Cajun, brass band, and more—and a love letter to the power of community. Papa Lebas &amp; Gumbo Ya Ya was launched last year with the album Naptown to NOLA which features 63 performers from Louisiana and the DMV including such notable musicians as Ivan Neville, George Porter Jr., Bill Summers, Chubby Carrier, Tommy Malone, Joe Krown, Ron Holloway, Tommy Lepson, Mary Ann Redmond, Deacon John, Leroy Jones, Doug Woolverton, and many more.
This show features a high-powered band of all star performers at the top of their game bringing the songs from the album, along with other New Orleans gems, to life. Joe Krown is making the trip up from New Orleans for the show, joining some of the DMV’s finest and favorite musicians: Rahsaan “Wordslave” Eldridge (Honest Lee Soul, Fess &amp; His Sons), Meg Murray (Meg Murray Band, Songbird Collective, Cyphers Band), Shari Puorto (Shari Puorto Band, Blues Women Experience), Doug Woolverton (Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Beginnings, Blues Women Experience), Seth Kibel (Seth Kibel Band, Daryl Davis Band), Chris Watling (The Grandsons, King Soul), Noah Pierre (Noah Pierre Band), and Matt Tebo (Shari Puorto Band, Blues Women Experience, Fess &amp; His Sons)—and perhaps a special guest or two.
Come out, join the party, and let your spirit soar!
