DC9 Nightclub

D.C. indie folk rockers Night Hawk headline DC9 with Spirit of the Bear on the heels of their new E.P. "Somewhere, Anywhere"
Night Hawk is an American indie rock band from Brunswick, Maine, now based in Washington, D.C. Originally a songwriting vehicle for Colter Adams and Peyton Semjen, the project has evolved into an acclaimed live act, earning a devoted following for its enchanting harmonies and clear-eyed lyricism.
Night Hawk’s music is defined by stark geometry and bold imagery, underpinned by crackling warmth and simmering tension. Drawing on themes of urban isolation, self-discovery amidst challenging transitions, and the catalogue of 20th century painter Edward Hopper, the band blends mellifluous violin and delicate finger-style guitar with the raw energy of barnstorming alternative rock, creating a sonic palette that is as expansive as it is emotionally precise.
The band has collaborated with the Whitney Museum and the Edward Hopper House on the Edward Hopper Recomposed concert series in Nyack, NY. Their debut album, Before We Begin, was produced by Colter Adams and Colin Miller (Indigo de Souza, Wednesday, MJ Lenderman).
Their E.P. "Somewhere, Anywhere," is out on all platforms on May 30, 2026.
***
Spirit of the Bear quickly became one of the most fresh and exciting bands to emerge in the Ohio music scene with their unique blend of indie rock, pop, and electronic sensibilities coupled with their affinity for pop song writing. The band’s years of musical experience are accentuated by their use of two keyboard players, bringing a unique depth to their sound. Consisting of James Harker (lead vocals, guitar), Danny Svenson (keyboards), Ethan Schwendeman (keyboards), Nate Gelfand (Bass), and Jamie Vitullo (Drums), the band has shared the stage with acts such as Crowded House, Our Lady Peace, Ra Ra Riot, and Robert DeLong, among others. The members of Spirit of the Bear have 3 dogs and 5 cats, collectively.

Explore the timeless inner shift that makes real happiness possible, even when life feels uncertain, painful, or completely undone.
What if the moment everything falls apart is not the end of your story, but the beginning of your becoming?
Join us for a powerful and restorative workshop exploring the timeless inner shift that makes real happiness possible, even when life feels uncertain, painful, or completely undone. Together, we will look beyond surface-level positivity and discover the deeper sources of joy, peace, and resilience that do not depend on outer circumstances.
Special guest Elizabeth Carson will share what happens after the collapse: when the marriage, the money, the brand, or the version of yourself you spent years building falls away, and the only place left to rebuild from is within.
Drawing from her own personal crashes across childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, and beyond, Elisabeth blends story, neuroscience, and lived practice to reveal why we often repeat the same patterns in different forms, and how we can finally begin to change them.
You will be guided through a practical four-phase roadmap for rebuilding from the inside out: Regulate. Reflect. Reprogram. Embody.
You will leave not with a pep talk, but with a real protocol for returning to yourself, and the powerful reminder that you were never broken. You were only becoming.
<a href="https://www.elisabethunlimited.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Elisabeth Carson</a>
teaches from a deep understanding of what it takes to rebuild a life from the inside out. After overcoming addiction, profound personal challenges, major successes, and significant setbacks, she turned her journey into a powerful path of healing, reinvention, and service.
Today, Elisabeth is an international speaker, trauma-informed transformational coach, spiritual teacher, podcaster, bestselling author, and entrepreneur with more than a decade of experience helping others heal, evolve, and create lasting change. Her work integrates neuroscience, somatic healing, subconscious reprogramming, brain health, spiritual awakening, and a deeply rooted connection to God.
Her diverse career has included work as a Hollywood model and actress, pastry chef, record-breaking real estate agent, president of a mental health facility, COO of a global brand, and three-time bestselling author.
Through Elisabeth Unlimited and her nonprofit, The Unlimited Life, she supports people in breaking old cycles, reclaiming their power, and stepping fully into the next chapter of their lives.
Saturday, July 18th, 1:00pm - 2:30pm. Brahma Kumaris Meditation Museum - Maryland ,&nbsp;9525 Georgia Ave, Silver Spring, MD.
