Lineup

After six years of touring and recording as the acclaimed Americana trio ‘The Dales Band,’ Jacqueline Tozzi and Preston Pope stepped into a bold new chapter with the formation of ‘Darling’ in early 2025. A genre-blending duo born from the heart of harmony and the soul of reinvention, Jacqueline and Preston’s vocals and songwriting helped shape a beloved sound rooted in soul, rock, and country. ‘Darling’ is where the grit of classic rock meets the emotional depth of soul, threaded with an edge that’s both modern and timeless. Tozzi’s signature powerhouse vocals—equal parts smoky vulnerability and fierce conviction—now shine with even greater clarity, while Pope’s masterful guitar work and melodic instincts drive the duo’s sound into bold new territory. The two artists share a long-standing musical rapport that’s palpable in every note, forged through years of harmonizing and co-creating. Where ‘The Dales’ channeled a spirit of nostalgic warmth, ‘Darling’ pushes forward with cinematic energy, emotional resonance, and hooks that linger. Their songs tell stories of reinvention, risk, and raw connection, set against soundscapes that range from intimate to anthemic. Currently at work on their debut release, ‘Darling’ is a band built on evolution—with deep roots and fresh wings.

The Cassaday Concoction is a funky blues-rock 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 their start, the Concoction has quickly upgraded from bar and brewery gigs to some playing some of the biggest stages the east coast of the US has 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 reggae one-drops. Their shows truly are a "Concoction" of musical euphoria, with the band taking you on a journey of whatever genre or vibe is pumping through their veins. The band released two EP's from 2019-2020 followed by three new singles in 2022 that have a combined 500,000 streams on Spotify.

LEÆTHER STRIP 

The solo-project of the legendary Danish electronic musician Claus Larsen. First signed by the German Electro Label Zoth Ommog in 1989, this industrial act quickly built a buzz as one of the most exciting emerging acts in Europe in the early 90's. While being a big inspiration to many of today’s younger acts in the subculture, Leæther Strip is still one of the most prolific producers and active international live acts. Claus is known for very uptempo energetic sets including classic hits like "Strap Me Down", "Don’t Tame Your Soul" and unique covers of Depeche Mode, Judas Priest, Soft Cell, Front 242, Ministry, Talk Talk, Lords of Acid, Yazoo, and many classic 80’s synthpop artists.

The Magical Mystery Girls came together in 2017 as a one-time "supergroup" of female performers to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the release of The Beatles' revolutionary Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. After 6 months of rehearsals, the band made its debut in June 2017 by playing a full set of early Beatles songs followed by the Sgt. Pepper album and a few other songs from 1967. The response was so overwhelming that they decided to keep the band together and to continue adding songs from the Beatles catalog. After several standing-room only shows to a loyal and growing following, the Magical Mystery Girls are now a sought-after act at festivals, concert venues, and clubs throughout the mid-Atlantic and beyond. Beatles fans are especially drawn to the band's attention to detail, overseen by two super-fans within the group. In addition to local venues such as the Lurman Woodland Theater, Jammin’ Java, and the Bethesda Blues and Jazz Club, The Magical Mystery Girls have performed at several Beatles events, including the New York Metro Fest for Beatles Fans, and at events with Beatles historian and author Dr. Kenneth Womack and “Deconstructing the Beatles” founder/Musicologist Scott Freiman at the Cutting Room in New York City where they performed the entire Beatles Get Back Rooftop concert. They have also performed the entire Abbey Road album with absolutely no samples or pre-recorded tracks.

The Walkaways are a metropolitan DC-based band, making music since 2006. The band released its fourth full-length album entitled “In Sepia” in 2024. This follows Fifty Left to Burn (2008) and Romance and Medicine (2012), recorded and co-produced with Grammy-nominated producer John Jennings (Mary Chapin Carpenter, Indigo Girls, The Rankin Family, Iris Dement), and "After the Fall" in 2017. The band released its fifth full length album in the summer of 2025.

From the beginning The Walkaways' sound has been called "alt-country" (Washington Post, Washington City Paper, Washingtonian Magazine), and that description still fits pretty well. Their songs draw even more broadly, however, from Americana, roots rock, country, indie folk, and classic rock. Key influences include Ryan Adams, Son Volt, Wilco, Springsteen, Uncle Tupelo, The Band, and Old 97s.

You can hear The Walkaways play live at popular DC-area venues that support original music, including Pearl Street Warehouse, Solace Outpost, Vanish Farmwoods Brewery, Evening Star Cafe, Lena’s Beer Garden, 7 Locks Brewing, Westover Beer Garden, along with local festivals, charity events, and every now and then at venues in NYC like Arlene's Grocery and Rockwood Music Hall.
