Local singer songwriter Tiffany Thompson is helping kick off this weekend’s Sweet Tea Pumpkin Pie Music Festival, bringing an immense number of bands to the U Street, Adams Morgan and Shaw neighborhoods. Tiffany’s sweet voice and friendly stage presence, backed by her trio, open the night for fellow locals Wytold and the Adrian Krygowski Trio. Columbia Station in Adams Morgan is all ages until 11 PM, so expect a sonic shift from young punks Ladle Fight and The Black Sparks to the much more thoughtful and mellow Tiffany Thompson Trio. STPPFest is all about turning you on to surprising new sounds. See you this weekend at the festival!
