Presenting the Isabelle de Leon Experience @ Luce Unplugged

We are terribly excited to announce our new partnership with the Luce Unplugged series to curate and present the most exciting #DCmusic in their expansive art-filled space.

Luce Unplugged invites local musicians to perform in the beautiful Luce Foundation Center surrounded by 3000 works of art. A staff-led talk about artworks chosen by the performing artists starts at 5:30 pm.

At 6 p.m on Thursday September 5th, virtuoso drummer Isabelle De Leon and friends fill the Luce Foundation Center with jazz, pop, and soul tunes from her vast repertoire.

Free & All Ages!

Iza Flo – Dance Anthem (Tiny Desk Contest)

Taking NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest rule about performing in front of a desk quite seriously, Isabelle de Leon‘s new all-lady supergroup Iza Flo’s debut song “Dance Anthem” fills up and takes over a small office with a soulful house music party jam. Each musician gets a feature, so here’s your score card: Jillian Willis (vocals), Dior Ashley Brown (MC), Natalie Ahearn (keys), Tiffany Lloyd (bass), Alena Budd (guitar), Rikayyah Wilson (percussion) & Isabelle De Leon (drums). In the vein of Tortured Soul and DC’s own House of Soul, this display of house music with live vocals and instrumentation is a powerful force.
