The Scene

MusicDetour.com’s commentary on music, performances, and the DC metro area music scene

Sound Tribe Sector Nine (STS9) is on tour and they are coming through the DC area in mid-March. STS9 will be playing two nights (March 13th and March 14th) at the 9:30 Club following a show in Norfolk, VA at the Norva. I have had the chance to catch them 3 times in three different states (NC, GA and DC). By far the best show that I saw was right here at the 9:30 Club. They are doing something funky with tickets (I’m not used to seeing multiple ticket prices for a show like this at the 9:30 Club). At any rate, both shows should be great. Opening act for the 13th is Two Fresh and the 14th is Ana Sia. More tour dates after the jump. (more…)

One of the nation’s top venues, Jammin’ Java, happens to be in our backyard in Vienna, Virginia. This weekend it’s got two shows going on that are must see concerts. Friday night, March 6th, Shane Hines and the Trance is having a CD release party. Check out this post for more info on that show. The big show from a rising star is on Saturday, March 7th with Theresa Andersson. A month ago, Andersson was featured on Conan O’Brien’s late night show on NBC and her one-woman-band (think female version of Keller Williams) is starting to take off. Catch her at this intimate night club before she’s playing stadiums. Details on both shows after the jump. (more…)
