are a harmony-driven psychedelic darkwave trio based in Washington, DC. Formed in 2010, the band coalesces the decades-long artistic collaboration of Seth Flynn (guitar/vocals), Brian Majewski (keys/vocals), and Chris Baker (drums/vocals). With influences ranging from 60s psych rock to new wave, The Duskwhales’ signature sound is a powerhouse of pulsing synthesizers, lush vocal harmonies, and dramatic arrangements. They have performed to packed audiences across the East Coast and supported national acts including Car Seat Headrest, Frankie Cosmos, Killer Queen, and Jesse McCartney. Their latest album was released in 2024 and heralded by Atwood Magazine for its “dynamic energy, colorful lyricism, and catchy, charming melodicism.”

: A rare performance featuring the unforgettable voice and guitar of Alice Despard, with Les Doerfler on bass, Davis White on drums, and Alex Son on cello, this dynamic ensemble delivers a rich, atmospheric sound that’s both powerful and haunting. Alice only performs once a year—don’t miss this special event!

: Rolling Stone called him "the secret weapon of the Slickee Boys' arsenal." He's shared the stage with The Ramones, U2, The Four Tops, Minor Threat, The Ventures, The Kinks, The Pretenders, and The Cramps. Marshall plays a stereo baritone guitar which sounds like a bass player playing along with a guitar player, and at every show people come up and ask "HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!?"

Rocklands BBQ is a hyper-local , long time staple of the DC BBQ scene. A truck will be at the curb from 6- 8 pm if the wearther allows. Come have a pre-concert picnic !
