• David has played in Goin' Goin' Gone for more than 40 years. What you might not know is that he and Russ Beeker had a duo called The Beverly Brothers that played at Kramerbooks for more than a decade. David's solo act includes a few GGG tunes but mostly it's songs that he wrote that the band never played, songs that move inside his soul, songs he sings to his living room walls.&nbsp;
• Skip played a lot of drums and guitar in his life until having an epiphany about music. He had an experience of knowing he could play the blues, and he just had to do it. He says surrendering in music is being drawn to play and being able to say, "I am a musician." Then, you just go with what you play in the moment. He also says, "Music is available to everybody." And it's important to just start, and you can learn to play music like being in a conversation.

<h1><a href="https://www.jaybyrdmusic.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jay Byrd</a></h1>
Jay has been a professional guitarist, singer, and songwriter since his late teens. In his early twenties, he co-founded the blues-rock trio The Groov with Kerry Brooks, and in 1996 joined the then-Grateful Dead cover band Wavy Train. Byrd's original songs and guitar work helped Wavy Train to forge a sound that combined pop-oriented melodies with extended improvisation. After moving to the Washington, DC area in 2001, Jason began crafting songs with a decidedly Americana bent. An award-winning songwriter (NewSong, Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest, Bernard-Ebb Finalist), Jason continues to write and perform original roots-influenced music. Jay’s new album, At Home Again, is set for release in 2022. His previous band, South Rail, has released three EPs, a self-titled debut in 2012, "Stars" (2014), produced by Don Was, and most recently, “Take The Wheel” (2018).
Throughout the years with Wavy Train, South Rail and as a solo artist, Jay has opened for Little Feat, Chely Wright, Cary Morin, Don Dixon &amp; Marti Jones, Kevin Gordon, Caroline Rose, Yarn, etc. and has shared stages with String Cheese Incident, Tom Constanten, Col. Bruce Hampton, Ratdog and Steve Winwood, among many others.

The group’s releases include the single “Goodbye,” the Riverwash EP featuring Norah Jones guitarist Adam Levy, and a steady run of singles such as “I’m Doing Alright,” “These Days,” “Life in the Middle,” “Standing on the Edge,” and “Five and Dime,” with a full-length album in the works.

Swedish-born bluesman Robert Lighthouse has spent decades immersed in the raw traditions of Mississippi Delta blues. Arriving in the U.S. at 18, he traveled through legendary blues hubs like Chicago’s Maxwell Street and New Orleans before settling in Washington, DC in 1988, where he built a devoted following as a street performer and club musician.
A two-time DC representative at the Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge, Robert released his acclaimed debut Drive-Thru Love in 1998, followed by Deep Down in the Mud in 2007, both earning strong critical praise. His sound is deeply rooted, soulful, and unmistakably authentic.
Bassist Randy Ball anchors the trio with a rich blend of blues and swing, performing regularly across Maryland and collaborating with groups including The Hi-Jivers and B&amp;B Swing.

Bassist, composer and luthier, Scott Ambush has been performing since the age of twelve. A native Marylander, Scott began playing electric bass when he discovered that the drum slot in the band he wanted to join was filled. Scott has no regrets. Scott has performed on stage and in studio with a veritable who’s who of the DC/MD/VA music scene; saxaphonists Tim Eyerman, Marshall Keys, and Al Williams, Singer/songwriters, Jon Carroll and Mary Ann Redmond, Guitarists, Carl Filipiak, Alan Scott and Michael Fath, and even the legendary Root Boy Slim. In addition, Scott has played hundreds, if not thousands, of Jazz, Pop, R&amp;B, and Funk gigs throughout the region,&nbsp;especially adept at performing or filling in on short notice.&nbsp; As a member of contemporary jazz super group, Spyro Gyra, he has garnered five Grammy nominations, and has become widely known for his versatility, sensitivity and lyrical playing. Scott is equally at home in a wide range of musical contexts, having played with such luminaries as Stanley Turrentine, Dizzy Gillespie, Omar Hakim and Special EFX. He has backed R&amp;B jazz instrumentalists, Chuck Loeb, Kirk Whalum, and Pieces of a Dream; R&amp;B vocalists Maysa Leak and Angela Bofill, as well as award winning Blues artist Deanna Bogart. Whether doing live dates or recording projects with Deanna Bogart, Jason Miles, Teresa DeSio (Italy), Misato Watanabe (Japan) or renowned Bollywood composer and producer, Sandeep Chowta, Mr. Ambush's varied experiences have served him well. When not touring with Spyro Gyra, Mr. Ambush fronts his own group, and designs, builds and sells the custom bass guitars that carry his name.&nbsp;

<h1>Deja Voodoo </h1>
<h3><a href="https://gofund.me/1865e7137" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">“Being for the benefit of a dear friend”</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://gofund.me/1865e7137" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">• GoFundMe</a></h3>
Swampy, hypnotic, bluesy rockin’ soul beats!&nbsp;Haunting, forbidden melodies! Secret spells from&nbsp;Beyond! Lose your mind to the feverish bonfire Beat!&nbsp;
The prime-cut Deja Voodoo lineup is Walter Vanek, Scott Newman, Michael Bufalini &amp; Jeremy Carlson - PLUS special guests 
“Muddy” Walter Vanek grew up on a mud farm in south Mississippi. The farm cultivated a special form of mud that was used to make dinnerware, furniture and building materials. His life was all about mud: he ate from mud plates, slept on mud beds, and sat on mud chairs, etc. At the age of three months, he made his own mud guitar and has been playing ever since. He enjoys all types of music and hopes when he grows up to be a professional mudslinger in Las Vegas.
Scott Newman’s origins are murkier. The latest rumor has a Scottish muff merchant having a fling with a New Orleans voodoo princess (not yet Queen), whose progeny disappeared before showing up years later as a touring Zydeco van mechanic (specializing in Ford Econoline V8’s, paid in pints of Chivas Regal and goat cheese). Dead giveaway: fake forearm tattoos.
Michael “Heartfelt Scream” Bufalini is the stage name for Cassius Thermador, an immigrant from Dayton Ohio who lived briefly in Zimbabwe to study floral design.&nbsp; Known primarily as the ex-nephew of the inventor of the fitted sheet, his musical career has been slowly catching up.
Jeremy Carlson (April 27, 1922&nbsp;–&nbsp;present) is an&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans" rel="nofollow noopener">American</a>&nbsp;movie, stage and television actor. Carlson played Oscar Madison in the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_series" rel="nofollow noopener">television series</a>&nbsp;"<a target="_blank" href="https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Odd_Couple_%281970_TV_series%29" rel="nofollow noopener">The Odd Couple</a>"&nbsp;from 1970 to 1975. He played the title character in the television series "Quincy, M.E." from 1976 to 1983.
Robert Freeland… We really have no idea where “Robert." hails from. He doesn't say much. We're guessing his last name is an alias of some sort?
See you on the dance floor, babydoll!

<h3><a href="https://billstarksmusic.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Bill Starks</a></h3>
Bill is an award winning songwriter and keyboard player with a rockin' piano style and a tendency to defy genres, blending rock n roll, honky tonk, boogie woogie and blues into a kind of Americana musical gumbo.
As a member of DC's longtime favorite Americana group Ruthie and the Wranglers, as well NRBQ tribute band Me &amp; the Boys, and a BandHouse Gigs regular, Bill is a favorite for DC audiences, with a lovable lived-in voice, amazing piano chops, and a distinctive songwriting style. His tune "300 Miles from Memphis To New Orleans" won WAMA's song-of-the-year award.&nbsp; In addition to recording with Ruthie and the Wranglers, Bill has released two solo CD's, "I See Trouble" and "Do You Hear Me Now?" on Azalea City Recordings. In 2015 Bill received the WAMA Songwriter of the Year award.&nbsp;
