<h1><a href="https://www.facebook.com/bobbythompsontrio/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bobby Thompson Trio</a></h1>
<h3>Bobby Thompson • Kurt Kratch • Andy Hamburger</h3>
The Bobby Thompson Trio is a high-octane ensemble that captures the raw, improvisational energy of the American roots scene. Fronted by Bobby Carrillo-Thompson on vocals and his signature slide guitar, the trio is anchored by the deep groove of bassist Kurt Kratch and the precision of drummer Andy Hamburger. Together, they build a sound that bridges gritty blues-rock with soulful, exploratory arrangements, a chemistry honed through years of collaboration within the Root Nine Records family.
While the core trio remains the heart of the performance, the lineup frequently expands to include special guests, bringing fresh textures and guest instrumentalists into the fold to elevate the live experience. This fluid approach allows the group to remain spontaneous and connected to the moment, whether they are delivering hard-driving electric sets or more nuanced, groove-heavy explorations. Focusing on the evolution of the original album experience, the trio continues to serve as a mainstay for authentic, unvarnished music in the D.C. area and beyond.

"Explosive guitar solos ….&nbsp; With a classic rock feel that sounds familiar, and plenty of twists and turns to keep things fresh ….” - Scott Paddock, Mobtown Music Guide
One of DC’s long-time favorite frontmen, 5-time International Blues Challenge Finalist, and multi-award winning guitarist, Mike grew up in Rockville as a child of passionate working musicians. He spent countless hours spinning 45s and LPs from his parents extensive record collection—Rock, Soul, Country and Jazz and everything in between. Mike began collecting his musical skills like bottle caps, playing drums, piano, saxophone, bass, and guitar while performing simultaneously in jazz band, marching band, concert band, and orchestra. His mother made sure that he had the instruments necessary to continue his musical journey. It was the guitar, however, that stole his heart, and Mike developed his own dynamic and expressive style steeped in the sounds of 60s and 70s guitar royalty.

<h1><a href="https://revbillycwirtz.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Reverend Billy C. Wirtz</a></h1>
Reverend Billy C. Wirtz is a comic genius, gifted boogie‑woogie pianist, and American musicologist who defies easy classification. “I like to think of myself as the Victor Borge of the blues,” says the Reverend, but his act goes far beyond musical comedy, mixing razor‑sharp wit, social commentary, and deep knowledge of gospel, R&amp;B, and roots music traditions.
Born in Aiken, South Carolina on September 28, 1954, Billy grew up glued to televised gospel broadcasts from Augusta’s Bell Auditorium and later immersed himself in D.C.’s rich Black music culture while working at Glen’s Music, a record store devoted to R&amp;B, jazz, and spirituals. Those years listening to Julius Cheeks, Clarence Fountain, the Dixie Hummingbirds, and classic boogie‑woogie piano records sparked a lifelong love of blues and gospel and eventually led him to the keyboard.
A turning point came when Wirtz befriended Chicago blues legend Sunnyland Slim, who invited him to stay in Chicago and learn directly from the master. Living with Sunnyland, haunting the city’s nightclubs, and meeting his blues heroes convinced Billy that he could make a life as a pianist. Back in Virginia and the Mid‑Atlantic, he played in bands like Sidewinder and the Charlottesville All Stars, then became a sought‑after sideman with Washington, D.C. roots outfits including Root Boy Slim &amp; the Sex Change Band, Evan Johns and the H‑Bombs, and The Nighthawks.
By the early 1980s, Wirtz stepped out on his own, recording his first solo LP, Salvation Through Polyester, and developing the full “Reverend” persona: a wild, mock‑evangelist blues preacher delivering “sermons” of deep‑fried humor and sanctified piano. His breakthrough album Deep Fried and Sanctified kicked off a long run of critically acclaimed records and solidified his reputation as one of the most original voices in modern roots music.
On stage, Reverend Billy C. Wirtz is a one‑man revival meeting: rollicking boogie‑woogie, outrageous stories from the Chitlin’ Circuit and beyond, and songs like “What I Used to Do All Night” that turn aging, politics, and everyday absurdity into pure comic gold. At Hank Dietle’s, expect a show that is fast, funny, and fiercely musical—a night where you’ll laugh hard, learn a little, and leave with the blues (and the good kind of religion) in your soul.

Sutton Foster is a two-time Tony Award-winning performer, whose career spans Broadway, film, and television. Her rise to stardom is one of the most unique stories in Broadway history.

Hank Dietle’s has been a labor of love for fans of the county’s oldest licensed bar for many years, serving up cold beer and warm memories since the 1916 store reopened as Hank Dietle’s Tavern in 1950. As development pressures were wiping out history along the pike, longtime fan Tony Huniak took over in 1990 to keep our beloved bar going. When the Quarry House burned in 2015, Tony welcomed Rockabilly Saturday Night to a new venue on the pike, carving out space for dancing in a homey social setting that proved a perfect fit for fans of live roots &amp; retro music. After Hank Dietle’s suffered a devastating fire in February 2018, fans rallied again to save the irreplaceable roadhouse. Chantal “Kiti” Gartner set up a Go Fund Me website to help the out of work employees and teamed with Mark Segraves and others to organize a benefit concert to launch a reconstruction effort. Thanks to their tireless efforts and many fans who contributed, the roof was repaired, the porch rebuilt, critical electrical work done, and interior walls rebuilt.
