FRIDAY
LIVE MUSIC
Bus Bash Summer Concert
Youth-driven organization the Washington Bus helps the next generation learn how to harness their political power—and boy do we need their energy right now. The nonprofit throws a summer concert bash this Friday to raise money for its programs and share how to get involved, opening the doors of the all-ages Vera Project for free to those 18-and-under and just five bucks for anyone else. Between moments of civic “enragement,” you can get your groove on to sets from local bands like pop-rockers Hot Stepmom, nostalgic pop-punk group Midnight Parkway, and indie pop project Hollow Daze, who recently released their first two songs on streaming platforms.
