Boundary Stone’s Songs of Summer
The Boundary Stone (116 Rhode Island Ave. NW) has
expanded its musical footprint and launched the 100% Summer Session Concert
Series. While Monday is still reserved for open mic night, the venue has added
events on Wednesday and Saturday throughout the summer, and plans to continue
in the fall. Each Saturday will see a different concert featuring local and
regional bands. On Wednesday, owner Colin McDonough plans to mix it up with
music education programs and documentary showings.
“Once we expanded, we knew we wanted to put the music
front and center,” McDonough explains. “This is just formalizing what we’ve
been trying to do all along.” That focus on the music translates into a
top-of-the-line sound system and infrastructure designed by Scott Stark. Live performances
are also streamed on the TVs in the bar on the other side of the large,
half-split room.
McDonough remembers a time when the neighborhood was
begging for a watering hole of any kind. Nowadays, the proprietors of new local
establishments need to try and fill a void in the market (read: Truxton Inn and
high-end cocktails). Boundary Stone has continued to expand its offerings to
the ever-changing community. Now neighbors can say they live within walking
distance of not only great restaurants and bars, but a rocking live music
venue.
Boundary Stone has partnered with DC Brau to sponsor the
series, and plans to release a 100% Summer Session IPA that will be available
for $4 at concerts, as well as other DC Brau beers. Every event is free to
attend. The series kicked off on July 21 with a performance by
singer/songwriter Andy Shea, featuring Reed Appleseed.For more information visit, www.boundarystonedc.com.
