The Cassaday Concoction is a blues-funk-rock fusion band founded in the summer of 2018 by Virginia based singer-songwriter Chris Cassaday. The band, consisting of Chris's close friends Brian Gerrard on lead guitar, Dom Ryan on bass, and Adam Bush on drums, have proven very quickly that they are must see performers. Since starting in 2018, the Concoction has rocked the stage at some of the most prestigious venues the DC, Virginia, and Maryland areas have to offer, while bringing a swarm of enthusiastic fans, both new and old, with them. Each member's eclectic mix of musical backgrounds gives the band's sound a unique and powerful edge, luring the audience in with catchy harmonies, hard-punching rock and roll, soothing soul music, and classic crowd-favorite cover songs. Their shows truly are a "Concoction" of musical euphoria. After joining Chris in the studio on a number of his solo tracks, the Concoction released their debut album “I Need To Be” on September 9th, 2022, followed by the four singles “Paint A Picture”, “Ghost”, “Big Living”, and “Adrift” throughout 2023 and in to 2024. The band is currently working on new music set to release in late 2024 early 2025.

Argo and the Violet Queens are a psychedelic driven band based out of Washington D.C. that blend nostalgic visual aesthetics, surreal lyricism, and higher energy performances to create a uniquely abstract world in which the music lives. Sonically, all four members make unique contributions to the band’s sound as they weave through explorations of what the 20th century’s preeminent genres can be once altered in a modern setting.
