Tonight w featured artist the Sidleys!
Having long established themselves as top-tier performers in the Washington DC area, the husband and wife songwriting team of Annie and Steve Sidley create their finest music yet as indie rock and soul band, The Sidleys. Influenced by artists as diverse as Stevie Wonder and The Beatles, and powered by Annie’s soulful voice, The Sidleys write songs that are memorable and modern, yet instantly classic. A family-based collective, they are frequently joined on both stage and record by their sons, Sean, Colin and Ian, three uniquely talented musicians in their own right. The Sidleys have released three critically acclaimed albums, “Bittersweet” in 2013, followed by “The Love You Make” in 2017 and their latest and most successful album “Breathless” was released on June 12, 2020 and is available now on all streaming platforms.
The Sidleys have performed at some of the most prestigious venues in the mid-Atlantic region including The Warner Theatre, The Fillmore, The Hamilton Live, The Barns at Wolf Trap, and the Bethesda Theater as well as festivals and outdoor concert series up and down the East coast.

This is NOT a restaurant so bring your own food or drink if you want to eat or drink! We have a house keyboard, but it’s a small space, unable to support acts larger than a quartet, and no drumkits. 2 songs, 10 minutes, 1 pun – whichever’s shorter.
