Once a month, Steven Capozolla hosts a Singer/Songwriter Showcase in the coffee shop at Politics and Prose that brings together Washington DC's finest musical talent under one bookstore to share fifteen minutes of uninterrupted original music apiece. Last nights showcase opened with the talented keyboardist and vocalist, Ian Walters (who publicly announced his... 
departure from the fed) strumming a six string...
- Alan Holmes - A one man band of sorts that performed an impersonation of a train on the harmonica which was truly amazing. No sarcasm here... you really have to hear it.
- Michael Jantz - with a mature, evolved sound that could be likened to a young Jack Johnson. Keep an eye out for a new album in March.
- Jesse Elliott (These United States) - who's soft natured voice and thoughtful lyrics sent smiles throughout the crowd.
- Alec (rhymes with Phallic) Gross and the Districts bassist Jim Donahue turned up the heat with strong vocal chords and polished licks.
- And, of course, Steven himself puts on a show worthy of the $10 cab ride from Columbia Heights.

Thanks for talking up the Modern Times gig. See you guys on the 24th. By the way, we still haven't received your $500.00 stage rental fee. If you want to pay it the night of the show, that's okay.
Kidding, kidding.
PS: I was listening to 6/24/95 RFK this morning. My final Dead show. Hornsby sat in. Amazing "Days Between" in second set. '95 was a rough year, though.
