Melodime, Jared & the Mill, and Caleb Hawley – $12/15

February 8, 2017 @ 8:00 pm

$12 – $15

8pm – $12/15

Melodime (AMERICANA/COUNTRY/ROCK)

Melodime’s Americana-flavored songs merge a slight country twang with rock and roll, successfully blending stunning piano melodies with catchy guitar riffs and sing-along choruses.

Melodime, featuring Brad Rhodes (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Sammy Duis (piano, organ, bass), Tyler Duis (drums), and Jon Wiley (guitar, mandolin, dobro, bg vocals), has performed 125+ shows annually throughout the continental United States, sharing the stage with such well-known acts as  Sam Hunt, Jonny Lang, A Thousand Horses, and Sister Hazel. The band has also left its mark internationally with performances in Mexico, Canada, and Europe, all while founding and running a charity, ‘Now I Play Along Too,’ which provides musical instruments and lessons to underprivileged children in the DC area, Florida and Haiti. The band is quickly becoming a fan-favorite in the festival scene, playing four consecutive Rock Boat  cruises, as well as Musikfest, Herndon Festival and other events. Around their hometown of Northern Virginia, the group has performed at such popular venues as The Hamilton, The State Theatre, and 9:30 Club.

Melodime’s latest single, “Little Thing Called Love,” has received a great response from both fans and critics alike. The Boot describe the track as “catchy, lyrically strong – and perfect to listen to with the windows down during the summertime months,” while Tune Collective describes the track as a “fun song bursting with vibrant uplifting energy.” Kings of A&R featured the band as a buzzing act, and The Washington Post noted “It doesn’t pay for those who want to say ‘I saw them way back when’ to procrastinate.” Melodime’s previous albums were recorded with platinum-selling producers, including Where the Sinners & the Saints Collide with Rick Beato (Parmalee, NeedToBreathe), and 3 Reasons For Fighting with Jim Ebert (Butch Walker, Cowboy Mouth).

Jared & the Mill (WESTERN INDIE ROCK)

Jared & The Mill is a southwestern indie rock band, formed in 2011 in Phoenix, Arizona. A collection of 5 childhood friends who met up in college, Jared & The Mill has spent the past few years touring extensively through the dive bars, venues, theaters, music festivals, and even arenas of the U.S. and Canada, playing alongside burgeoning bands and established acts, and developing a strong and rooted fan base along the way.

Caleb Hawley (SOUL/SONGWRITER)

Harlem’s Caleb Hawley is an American soul singer, songwriter and performer. Like savvy throwback crooners Mayer Hawthorne and Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Hawley channels early Stevie Wonder and other Motown sounds into a complete, magnetic package. Raised in Minneapolis by a family of preachers and therapists, Hawley’s family fueled his on-stage charisma and perceptive, witty lyrics. “Growing up in an acapella church, we didn’t have instruments. It forced everyone to learn how to sing harmony,” Hawley says. “We mostly sang older hymns, which is probably what drew me to gospel and eventually soul music.” Hawley’s grandfather hooked him on an early Ray Charles record, leading him into the fertile soul music of the sixties and seventies.
