Guy Bouchie - Matt Kelley Wolf Crescenze - Andy Hamburger
Two of DC’s top blues frontmen share the stage for a night of high-energy electric blues and blues rock.
Guitar slinger Guy Bouchie brings fiery fretwork, soulful vocals, and a modern edge rooted in the sounds of Freddie King, Magic Sam, and Michael Bloomfield. Backed by top DMV players, his sets move from slow-burning blues to boogie-driven rockers, all delivered with a commanding stage presence.
Matt Kelley leads a powerhouse roots-blues band steeped in Chicago and Texas blues, classic roots rock, and barroom R&amp;B. Expect greasy shuffles, swampy grooves, and dynamic guitar work that keeps the dance floor moving.
A must-see night for fans of blues, roots rock, and roadhouse energy.

<h2>The Jelly Roll Mortals</h2>
<h4>Perform the songs of the Monkees and The Lovin’ Spoonful</h4>
This show is all seated.
What do the Monkees and Lovin’ Spoonful have in common, besides the obvious fact that they were on pop charts at roughly the same time in the 1960’s? For one thing, the creators of The Monkees TV show initially sought to case the Lovin’ Spoonful to star in it before moving on to cast the legendary foursome of Jones, Dolenz, Nesmith and Tork. For another, the DMV’s own Jelly Roll Mortals have played separate tributes to both bands in the last several years. 
Why not have a best of both, you might ask? OK, game on. Sunday, August 23, 2 – 4 pm, at Hank Dietle’s Tavern, Jelly Roll Mortals present Spoonful of Monkees, two non-stop hours of the best of both bands. First half of the show covers Lovin’ Spoonful, second half, The Monkees. Choose your favorite half or, better still, choose both. Your call. This is no daydream, believe us.

Led by acclaimed guitarist Rick Whitehead, this powerhouse jazz trio features John Previti on bass and Nick Ruggieri on drums — three master musicians with deep roots in the Washington, D.C. jazz community. Formed in 1994, shortly after the passing of legendary guitarist Danny Gatton, the trio quickly earned a reputation for their tight interplay and virtuosic performances. They’ve appeared at premier venues including Blues Alley, Bohemian Caverns, the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, and the Smithsonian Jazz Club.
Their first album, Live in Captivity, won the 1998 Washington Area Music Association (WAMA) Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album, followed by Live in Captivity, Again (2001) and So There We Were… (2006). Each member brings decades of experience: Whitehead’s lyrical guitar phrasing, Previti’s swinging power from years with Gatton and Charlie Byrd, and Ruggieri’s Berklee-honed rhythmic precision create a dynamic trio celebrated for both technical mastery and emotional depth.Steve Wolf is a veteran DMV bassist, producer, and bandleader who has been a fixture of the Mid-Atlantic music scene since the late 1960s. His versatile playing spans blues, jazz, rock, and roots music, with credits alongside regional greats including Danny Gatton, Tom Principato, The Nighthawks, Deanna Bogart, and Ron Holloway, as well as national artists such as Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Dr. John, and Clarence Clemons.

<h1><a href="https://www.robgouldmusic.com/bio" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Gould Standard</a></h1>
The Gould Standard brings a warm, thoughtful blend of indie folk to the Dietle’s stage, built on strong songwriting, rich harmonies, and textured instrumentation.
Featuring:
<ul><li>Rob Gould – vocals, guitar, piano, songwriter</li><li>Ken Glasser – harmony vocals, dobro, lap steel</li><li>George Thayer – harmony vocals, congas, harp</li></ul>
Rob Gould has been crafting songs for over two decades, developing a catalog that’s both personal and resonant. His work includes two full-length albums and multiple singles, with a new album’s worth of material on deck. His 2023 song Army of Devils earned the Grand Prize for Best Song of the Year in the Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest, and his album Because of You was a WAMMIE finalist. Several of his songs have also received recognition in regional songwriting competitions.
Backed by Ken Glasser and George Thayer—whose vocal harmonies and instrumental depth bring new life to the material—the trio creates a sound that’s intimate, expressive, and engaging. Expect a mix of original songs and carefully chosen covers that fit seamlessly into their indie folk aesthetic.
As lyricist Yip Harburg put it: “A lyric can make you think a thought; music can make you feel an emotion; but a song can make you feel a thought.” That’s exactly what The Gould Standard delivers.
Join us for an evening of thoughtful songwriting and beautifully crafted sound.

Tribute to Robbie White Concert
We’re dedicating this show to our longtime friend Robbie White, who is dealing with serious health issues. For decades, Robbie has been one of the most stalwart supporters of homegrown DC music, and there was never a gig by such bands as The Slickee Boys, The Dynettes, Switchblade or my own band, Bound For Glory, where Robbie was not in attendance. When Maura and I first started playing together, Robbie was our first fan, and in fact he was oftentimes our&nbsp;only&nbsp;fan at shows in the early days. Having grown up like I did, listening to WHFS, he has carried on the great legacy of DC progressive radio. He is truly dedicated, so we’re dedicating this show to him.
Songwriting husband-and-wife duo Pete and Maura Kennedy bring their “Smoketree” album release tour to Hank Dietle’s Tavern for their debut appearance! With more than two dozen albums, years on the road with Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon Orchestra, and a global touring history that spans the US, Canada, the UK, and Europe, The Kennedys deliver energized folk-rock packed with hooks, harmony, and heart. “Smoketree” is filled with brand-new originals that take on environmental concerns, social upheaval, and the search for peace—always with their trademark tone of hope and uplift. Come ready for great songs, great stories, and the kind of night you only get with true wandering troubadours.
