NAYAN
Band leader Nayan Bhula can't shake rock n' roll. Hearing those first few notes of "Dazed and Confused" as a middle schooler led to a three-decade-plus spiral. Looking like your "Dad's accountant or doctor" (actual after-show quote), he’s spent decades in the local scene and touring, tearing down those stereotypes of rock n' roll. He started with post-punk outfit GIST who released 3 full-length albums and toured up and down the East Coast & Canada. This transformed into a decade with the 8-piece orchestrated indie-folk-rock ensemble The NRIs, who released five EPs. Along the way, he’s shared bills with Rilo Kiley, Lungfish, Moneen, Travis Morrison (Dismemberment Plan), Juliana Hatfield, Laura Stevenson, Biz Markie, Khaira Arby, to name a few. The new band leans on his post-punk, indie-rock roots, and adds some synths. NAYAN is inspired by the sounds of DC punk, his unwavering devotion to classic rock n roll, and the 80s New Wave he grew up on.
GXB
GXB is an emerging band fusing southern rock and roll, country, and soul influences for a tight, high-energy live show. Built around the “instant classic” songwriting of Guy Bouchie, the band is rounded out by veteran DC musician Ben Tufts and a revolving door of top local talent. You can hear their debut single “High Roller” on all platforms.
