GRASP started on April 27, 2022 - exactly 4 years to the day and at this very location! (formerly Mod Pizza) Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate our community and see friends old and new while enjoying pizza that has become quite a hit in the DMV area! Andy's serves pizza by the slice and also wine by the glass or bottle. Two slices of pizza and a coke cost about $12. It all started with a ball of Trader Joe’s pizza dough. Over nearly a decade, Andy Brown has refined his recipe from semihomemade to a from-scratch crust that ferments for 72 hours before it’s baked in a hot stone oven. This location, in Kentlands, is the newest but Andy’s is quickly mushrooming around DC and NoVA. With its pliable crust, tangy tomatoes, and high-quality cheese, this is one of the most awarded pizzas in the DMV.

Many other regions of the world are also experiencing drought conditions. We will dedicate our prayers to bringing life-giving rain to all who need it!

CALLING ALL DC RIOT GRRRLS & PUNKS!!! We’re up to it AGAIN!!! Sold out Pie Shop for https://survivors.org, now we’re gonna aim to sell out JAMMIN’ JAVA!! Help us help survivors of sexual assault by getting YOUR tix now ➡️ https://www.unionstagepresents.com/shows/punk-it-forward-for-survivors-org-29-apr !!PUNK IT FORWARD FOR SURVIVORS!! 🔥✨🖤✨🔥 🔗🎟️ https://www.unionstagepresents.com/shows/punk-it-forward-for-survivors-org-29-apr Modern Natives: Modern Natives was founded by Florida-born Dezy in 2009 and evolved into a dynamic duo when Savannah joined in 2019. What began in the humid swamps of Florida eventually stretched all the way to frozen Alaska, with the band spending years traveling back and forth between the two extremes while carving out their sound on the road. They’ve toured cross-country from Alaska to Florida and across Canada multiple times—living out of an old camper with their three cats and dog along for the ride. Now nestled full-time in New York’s Hudson Valley, Modern Natives brings that wild, road-worn spirit to every stage. Known for their genre-blending sound and unforgettable live performances, Modern Natives is a must-see act wherever they land. Shelley Star & The Galaxy: Shelley Star & The Galaxy are making cosmic waves in Washington, DC, bringing out-of-this-world lyrics, vibrant pop-rock melodies, and theatrical flair to the Nation’s capital. The enigmatic Shelley Star powerfully belts and stomps the stage in platform space boots while high-octane musicians “The Galaxy” shred by her side. The band takes musical inspiration from icons such as Lady Gaga, ABBA, and David Bowie, and their style comes from deep roots in the art of drag. Old Knife: Old Knife is a trio of musicians who create a distinctive DC post-hardcore sound that draws from much wider geographical influences. Ella Gallogly (drums), Maddie Franca (bass) and VJ Hyde (guitar/vocals) bring a mix of intensity and musicality to their live shows that is like performative group therapy meets art punk opera. Old Knife’s music will cut you and leave a scar. Gigi Marie: Gigi Marie is "DC's favorite red head rock n roller" according to DC radio DJ Reddy Kilowatt!! A finalist for two Wammie Awards this year for Best Punk Song with "Miss Black Lagoon" and Best Rock Album with "All Things Night & Beautiful", she's thrilled to be bringing her truly unique Garage-Glam-Punkette attitude to the Jammin' Java stage in support of an amazing cause: survivors.org.

Kim Richey is one of my top favorite musical artists. I have been a fan of her music since the late 90s. She is also a sweetheart and a pleasure to chat with. I have seen Kim Richey with two musicians (herself included), three musicians and with a full band in Nashville and I am always impressed on how terrific the concerts are. She is scheduled to play at Jammin’ Java on May 10th. The ticket link is below. Here are a bunch of songs I selected from her first three CDs (my favorite CDs of hers. Every track on every CD is a gem). She draws a lot of her concert songs from those CDs. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MjBb_2WOys&list=PLG-Pcqm-1YXhs1rt8HO_A0jSlnTggUrUP](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MjBb_2WOys&list=PLG-Pcqm-1YXhs1rt8HO_A0jSlnTggUrUP) The first time I saw her was at Jammin’ Java (which is a nice little venue, btw). We chatted after the show. It was like chatting with an old friend. I asked her about playing with a full band. She told me that she will have a full band in Nashville. I gave it a bit of thought and told her that I have family in Clarksville (about an hour from Nashville). As we parted company, I was about 20 feet away from Kim when she shouted out to me, “Hey Felice!” (I introduced myself to her with my birth name). “I’ll see you in Nashville!”. I looked at her and said something like, “I guess I \*have\* to go now”. 😊 And I did. My second Kim Richey concert and that was a blast, and I got to see a bit of Nashville. I also met the multi-talented, Sav (“as in Savage”, she said to me) and I learned of her wonderful band, The Accidentals. I live for serendipity. Jammin’ Java is a small venue. You select your seat from a chart. Food and drinks are served. They have delicious pizza! My seat is at Table F. Right now, there are several seats available at my table. GA seats are not at tables. The elevated section is a real nice view with a table, if you prefer. To select a seat, click in the graphic with the Stage and Tables.
