<h4>Peter Gilstrap • Bill Williams • Edward O’Connell • Scott McKnight • Antoine Sanfuentes </h4>
After playing in local bands The Neighbors, Super Jones Affair, and Mother May I in the late 1900s, sharing stages with NRBQ, Roy Orbison, Paul Westerberg, Smashing Pumpkins and Marshall Crenshaw among others, accused singer songwriter and former Zamboni driver Peter Gilstrap left the area at sundown for the deserts of the west.&nbsp; &nbsp;
Now, he has returned to the DMV with a burning desire to play music at any cost. So far, it’s been well over $200. 
Joined by the formidable talents of Bill Williams, Edward O’Connell, Scott McKnight and Antoine Sanfuentes veterans of Last Train Home, Jelly Roll Mortals, Dede and the Do-Rights, Little Red &amp; the Renegades, the Half Smokes and Kevin Johnson and the Linemen—Clem Fandango was born. &nbsp;
It’s an earworm buffet of Gilstrap’s original songs inspired by the work of Nick Lowe, George Jones, Burt Bacharach, The Move, The Replacements, and pre-mustache Beatles. Get it while it’s hot.

The Name That Echoes: A Novel of Becoming&nbsp;by Kenneth Chivir Shenge Now Available on Amazon and Barnes &amp; Noble
ROCKVILLE, MD&nbsp;&mdash; Kenneth Chivir Shenge, a Nigerian-born author of Tiv heritage, announced the release of his debut novel,&nbsp;The Name That Echoes: A Novel of Becoming, now available in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle editions on Amazon and in eBook format on Barnes &amp; Noble. The audiobook edition is forthcoming.
The novel follows Alexander Terver Zever, a boy who is seven years old when the world he was born into vanishes. Raised in Comfortville, a community engineered for order, comfort, and quiet sufficiency, Alexander grows up within carefully maintained boundaries and unquestioned rules. Something in him resists. A name he cannot place. Fragments of memory that do not belong. A persistent sense that the life assigned to him is smaller than the one he was meant to live. What follows is not a story of sudden rebellion or dramatic escape. It is something slower and more costly: the gradual recovery of a self that was displaced before it was fully formed.
At the moral center of the novel stands a Tiv proverb: a person can be led so gradually away from his own path that, in time, he begins to call the wilderness home.
"I am Tiv, from Benue State, Nigeria," said Shenge. "That heritage is the foundation on which this story stands. But I wrote this book for anyone who has ever been led, gradually and almost imperceptibly, away from who they are, and who has had to find their way back. That journey belongs to no single person or people."
The Name That Echoes&nbsp;is literary fiction with a dystopian backbone, written with philosophical depth and emotional restraint. It draws on the oral traditions, moral frameworks, and cultural memory of the Tiv people of central Nigeria, while speaking to universal questions of identity, belonging, memory, and the slow cost of becoming.
The novel is published through Spines and is available through major online retailers. It carries BISAC classifications in Literary Fiction, African American and Black Fiction, and Coming of Age Fiction.
