Drew Davis / Ben "Baby" Copperhead & David Menestres / Brick Digest presents "Fort Lincoln"

Wednesday July 29 * 7pm * $15 * TICKETS

Drew Davis - Drew Davis of Crazy Doberman plays in solo mode. He has collaborated with Zach Rowden, Rodger Stella, Tim Gick, Kyle Flanagan, John Olson and many, many more.

Ben “Baby” Copperhead is the snake-bitten moniker of NYC-based multi-instrumentalist and vocalist whose compositions, performances, and arrangements offer a unique, contemporary vision informed by an unlikely range of influences, traditions, and collaborations. Copperhead expresses his folk roots through his “otherworldly” banjo style using modal and tonal explorations, while sometimes using samplers, processed drum machines, tape loops, and handmade electronic instruments inspired by the experimentalism of Musique Concrète.

In 2023, Copperhead released Wailing Viridescence to critical acclaim on the legendary and formative Shimmy-disc label. Copperhead has just released his fifth studio album Catch A Cold on Territory Punk Records. Chris Ingalls from PopMatters describes: "Catch a Cold sees Copperhead truly embracing what it means to make music with no stylistic boundaries, as one genre deftly blends into another. It’s a beautiful, ambitious piece of music that takes cues from a variety of artists yet is completely its own sound." 

Longtime collaborator, David Menestres, will be joining Copperhead on double bass. Wire magazine once referred to Menestres' bass playing as "particularly seductive."

Brick Digest presents "Fort Lincoln" - Come learn about the history of the unrealized Fort Lincoln "New Town" development in Washington, DC. The mastermind behind Brick Digest will share the story of what could have been in Northeast DC.
