That equation works out to: The Public Good+Fort Reno= Rock Outdoors Free! After passing all their conditioning tests during training camp, the hottest band in DC (they've played outside this summer in 100+ degree heat!) will be heckling the humidity to bring Monumental DC Rock to the streets of Washington. Show is Monday August 9, and starts at 7 and is over by 9:30pm. Along with TPG will be The Black Sparks and Dot Dash. Fort Reno concerts are family friendly!
Like any band, The Public Good is a group of people that forms around music making. This group isn’t limited to the people holding instruments; it embraces all involved. This blog records and riffs on this involvement.
The Public Good’s live shows in and out of the District of Columbia have developed a cult following intrigued by the band's special mix of heart-pounding rock-n-roll, brain-wrenching IQ quizzes, and occasional costume dramas.
John Elderkin (guitar) and Steve Ruppenthal (bass) lead songwriting and vocals, and the band is rounded out on stage by literary genius Sam Esquith on guitar/keyboards/tambourine, and the supremely talented roaming percussionist Chris Garges (Mitch Easter band, etc.) on drums.
