Three nights, three bands, three unique beers. In conjunction with this year's Craft Brewers Conference returning to DC, we have partnered with several independent breweries to bring you a hand-picked lineup of regional bands. Each night our menu will feature a unique beer from a brewery that we specifically paired with the evening's performer. Check out the full list of artists and participating breweries below!

Lagunitas presents Low Cut Connie
Monday, April 10
The Band
Philadelphia's own Low Cut Connie is purebred rock and roll in every sense of the word. Front man Adam Weiner belts out lyrics while banging on the keys of his trusty piano Shondra (named in tribute to a dancer from Atlanta's infamous Clermont Lounge). Rolling Stone described the band's debut album as "what indie rock might sound like were it invented in Alabama in the late Fifties." The magazine's review of their sophomore release only gets more colorful, calling the band's sound ""like Jerry Lee Lewis if he'd had his first religious experience at a Replacements show." If you can't imagine what that sounds like, you best get your tickets and witness it for yourself.
The Beer
Over 20 the last years Lagunitas has gone from a hidden treasure, celebrated by local diehards to the sixth highest grossing craft brewery in 2015, and during that period the company has continued to stay true to its independent roots and spirit. From its inception, the brewery has made its mission to bring people together & become a part of the cultural conversation. Lagunitas is a close partner and frequent sponsor of NPR, including the popular Tiny Desk Series, and in 2012 they opened an outdoor performance space at their flagship Petaluma brewing facility and tasting room.

Ommegang presents The Felice Brothers
Tuesday, April 11
The Band
Last year's Life in The Dark was a big milestone for Americana quintet The Felice Brothers. The album coincided with the band's 10th anniversary and marked lucky number 13 in their expanding list of studio recordings. Not bad for a group whose origins include busking at New York City subway stops. These two brothers and three friends simply have fun playing American roots music, and you'll have fun watching them.
The Beer
Cooperstown has more than just baseball. When Ommegang first opened its doors in 1997, it became the first American farmstead brewery in over a century. Located in upstate New York on 136 acres of former hop farms, Ommegang specializes in Belgian-style ales. Their popularity has continued to rise, at times even out-pacing supply. The brewery is now distributed nationally to 46 states, including our own Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia!

Terrapin presents Roadkill Ghost Choir
Wednesday, April 12
The Band
A seamless blend of ephemeral post-punk with rustic Americana makes Roadkill Ghost Choir unlike anything you've heard before. Numerous critics have drawn comparisons between lead singer Andrew Shepard and Tom Petty, in vocal style and lyrical sensibilities, but sonically the group skews more towards contemporaries My Morning Jacket and The War on Drugs. Electric guitars soaked in reverb and spacious synth drones complament Shepard's folksy songwriting to create an expansive, immersive sound suited for festival stages and arenas, which explains why notable festivals including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, South by Southwest, Governor's Ball, and Firefly Music Festival have all included Roadkill Ghost Choir in their lineup. Lucky for you, here's the chance to see them in a small, intimate setting on our stage.
The Beer
If you haven't figured it out by now, we are big Deadheads here at The Hamilton Live. So, it only makes sense that we chose to partner for evening with Terrapin, a brewery which takes its name from the Grateful Dead album Terrapin Station. The brewery is based out of Athens, GA, a college town that has long served as hotbed for alternative music in the Southeast; home to such acts as REM, of Montreal, The Whigs, and The Drive-By Truckers.
