As we all celebrate MLK’s B-day and get prepared for the big day tomorrow, DC seems to be pulling out all the stops tonight. First there’s an inaugural show at the 9:30 Club with the infamous Beastie Boys, Citizen Cope, Sheryl Crow, and Justin Jones. Over at the Warner Theatre the legendary Jay-Z kicks the night into gear. The Rock and Roll Hotel has Frightened Rabbit, Arc In Round, and David Karsten Daniels. The big show is at the Sold Out Black Cat Inaugural Ball featuring Andrew Bird, Ted Leo, Tortoise, Waco Brothers, Eleventh Dream Day, Jon Langford, Sally Timms, David “Honeyboy” Edwards, Ken Vandermark, Freakwater, Icy Demons, Judson Claiborne, and Thomas Frank. Wow! Also if you can’t make it to DC don’t forget that in Baltimore Hezekiah Jones, Baltimore String Felons, and Chris Kasper play Joe Squared, while in Philly Teed, Definite Awesome, and You, Me and T-Rex play the Khyber. Enjoy!
