Washington, DC – On October 8, 2024, 18 members of the local music community, paired into 9 duos will be debuting new songs they wrote to benefit Potters House DC Pay It Forward Program, providing roughly 100 meals a day to folks in need. The show is at DC9, 1940 9th St., NW. Tickets are $15 and available at the door or online. Participating songwriters are: Alexia Gabriella (Shalom), Antoñio Villaronga, Bev Stanton (Sad Veiled Bride), Christian Crowley (Boy Meets Pearl), Damien Bethel, Erin Frisby (Ammonite), Jasper Hobbs (Deccan Traps), Juels Bland, Lou Black, Mx. Mundy, Nina Goodman (Haircuts), Rebecca Berlin, Robzie Trulove (Lud Roes), Safety Bear, Sanjay Arora, Sea Griffin (Boy Meets Pearl), Talia Segal and Wytold. Songwriters were matched by choosing the same tarot card from a 9-card spread with the goal of getting musicians to work with other musicians they hadn’t worked with before or maybe even know! This is the first Why Don’t We Duet? with the hopes of turning it into a series to cross-pollinate the local music scene and raise money for cool causes.
