Introducing The Sunshine District

in Around Town, Arts/Theatre, Dish, Music, News/Updates

Go and order an Ugly Purple Sweater.  It’s a classic old-fashioned with a twist…which will be just like most things at The Sunshine District: Classically Twisted.  This upcoming “normal venue” just refuses to do things normally.

Officially opening next weekend, The Sunshine District is a concert venue with a side of quirky mixed drinks and in-your-face local music.  It’s stocked with 5 listening stations, each equipped with a record player and a CD player (Vinyl and CDs supplied by DC/DC-area musicians), and a menu of specialty cocktails all inspired by area artists. (That’s right.  Tiger Gilliam sure is the sound behind the Sober Mormon.)

The June 21st opening party will be played by Tall Tall Trees.  Check out the venue’s Facebook page for details on how to get invited, then grab an Aging Hipster (no, not really — this one’s named for Barrie Lee Howard) and listen it up local.

*The Sunshine District is located at 2010 9th Street NW
