Our opening weekend band is JC Brooks and the K.i.D!
I first felt the presence of JC Brooks in the backstage of the DC’s own Black Cat, esteemed launch pad of innumerable indie bands, and thought: “this must be what happened when James Brown walked on stage at the Apollo in April ‘59.” Madness!
So excited for this. Wonder what they are going to do by way of beverage program in a traditional proscenium...loved being able to drink vodka during this in the tent!
Staceyann Chin is a force to be reckoned with. Heckuva solo performance. 1st act (I know - a two act solo show! bold move...) is staggering...2nd act is a little unruly, but cleans up well and powerfully. An extremely worthwhile evening of theater. Also worthy of note - the audience was made up primarily of women of all ages. Rare and wonderful to see! Go go go!
