Charlie Hunter & Lucy Woodward

From the event description:

Charlie Hunter and Lucy Woodward are known for excelling in different genres, yet the two veteran musicians have been running in similar circles before pairing up for touring in 2018. With a career spanning 16 years and almost 20 albums, virtuoso guitarist Charlie Hunter has worked with the likes of Norah Jones, Mos Def, John Mayer and D’Angelo. Lucy Woodward has been blazing her own path since the 2003 release of her Top 40 radio hit “Dumb Girls”. Not settling for the pop industry standards, she later released albums on the legendary jazz Verve label and on Snarky Puppy label, GroundUP Music, after much collaboration with the band. 

When: Thursday, Dec. 12, 8-11 p.m.
Where: The Starlet Room, 2708 J St.
Price: $20 (General Admission), $25 (General Admission Day of Show)

Jonny Lang

From the event description:

It is hard to believe that at 38 years old Jonny Lang has already had a successful career for two decades. Easier to believe when you learn he released his first platinum record at 15—an age when many young people are just beginning to play music. "Lie to Me" revealed a talent that transcended the crop of blues prodigies floating around in the late '90s. No flashy re-hasher of classic blues licks, as even at that early age Lang was a full-blown artist with a style of his own. 

When: Wednesday, Dec. 11, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Crest Theatre, 1013 K St.
Price: $17.50-$27.50

Monica Pasqual of Blame Sally

From the event description:

Monica Pasqual shined in the San Fran-based folk group Blame Sally, and now she's become an even bigger star all on her own—all thanks to her empowering protest song "You Can't Kill Light." The song dropped on the morning of the 2017 inauguration, racking up 70,000 views and 1,300 shares on Facebook in less than two weeks. She even went on to perform the single live at the 2018 Oakland Women's March. Get ready to be moved when this inspiring artist performs at The Sofia.

When: Friday, Dec. 13, 7 p.m.
Where: The Sofia, 2700 Capitol Ave.
Price: $17.50

'Broadway Princess Holiday Party'

From the event description:

"Broadway Princess Holiday Party" is a talent-packed touring show that brings together a supergroup of performers who have all played princesses on Broadway — like Susan Egan (Disney’s Beauty and the Beast), Christy Altomare (Anastasia) and Courtney Reed (Disney’s Aladdin) — for a night of iconic songs. Think "The Avengers," but with better vocal range.

When: Friday, Dec. 13, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Crest Theatre, 1013 K St.
Price: $14.75-$34.75
