Mars Arts D.C. After Hours at Barrel House Cafe & Bar
The Experience Band and Show
Wednesday, September 9, 2026, 8:30 p.m.
Barrel House Cafe & Bar
Kick off the series with a little New Orleans flavor and a whole lot of D.C. energy. The Experience Band and Show brings a second-line jazz sensibility to the stage, blending brass, funk, R&B, and the unmistakable bounce of Go-Go. Expect big brass, deep grooves, and the kind of grown-folks energy that makes Wednesday night feel like the weekend.
