We had a blast last Saturday with GV, Nu-Era, and Trilogy III at our “Celebrating You” pop-up music event. Despite the logistical challenges and the eventual rain, they came through like the true professionals they are, reminding everybody that the pipeline of artists from the DC area is strong and runs deep. The sky truly is the limit for these acts because they’ve got recognizable skill, energy to spare, and incredible work ethic. If you missed them Saturday be sure to catch them next time they perform. Make sure to follow them on Twitter at @Real_GV, @therealnuera, and @TrilogyIII. And we’d also like to thank our hosts at the M.A. Winter Building for making their beautiful courtyard available to us. We appreciate you!
