NEW SHOWS ANNOUNCED AT CITY WINERY WASHINGTON DC
Louis Prima Jr. & The Witnesses (8/21), Mason Jennings (10/4)
Washington, D.C. (May 28, 2019) — On sale this week at City Winery Washington DC (1350 Okie St NE) are a number of exciting new shows, taking over the winery’s main venue and Wine Garden stages now through the fall. Louis Prima Jr. and The Witnesses will treat audiences to an evening of classics from the Louis Prima catalog ranging from hard driving big band jazz, danceable swing and rock. Born into an undeniable musical legacy, Louis Prima Jr. tours again with a repertoire built by his father, but which he proudly continues with his own band today. In October, Mason Jennings brings his distinctive voice and unique songwriting to the Washington with an evening of folk and pop that thrives on his latest album release “Songs From When We Met.”
Also, on sale this week are special performances by popular local go-go act, Backyard Band, as well as jazz and blues sensations The Patricia Barber Trio and The Bad Plus. Later in the year City Winery hosts a special evening with R&B singer songwriter Shirley Murdock, while one of her contemporaries, Syleena Johnson takes the stage for “The Woman Tour.” And last but not least, rock artist and actor Tyler Hilton, who has been compared to the likes of Howie Day and even Elton John, performs in the Wine Garden during his tour of the album “City On Fire.”
Tonight, City Winery welcomes AJ Croce to the main stage for an intimate, personal night of reflection and storytelling, while the wine team leads a blind tasting workshop in the Barrel Room restaurant. On Wednesday, Grammy Award winner for “Bistro Fada” the theme song from Midnight In Paris, The Stephane Wrembel Band – The Django Experiment, takes over the main venue. On Thursday John “Papa” Gros brings his distinct New Orleans sound to Washington for a show with a full dance floor. That night, hometown jazz keyboardist Marcus Johnson returns to City Winery’s main stage, while the wine team leads a pairing class dedicated to cupcakes. On Friday, the weekend starts with a performance by Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan featuring Shooter Jennings in the main venue – the same day as Duff’s much-anticipated solo album “Tenderness” is released, while Louis York & The Shindellas open the dance floor in the Wine Garden.
City Winery’s first floor Barrel Room Restaurant & Wine Bar is available for pre or post-show dinner and drinks. Reservations can be made at www.citywinery.com/washingtondc/. Additionally, guests can experience a range of City Winery’s wines at the Tasting Bar, located in the entrance alcove.
