The Best of NileGuide
- Washington has a variety of live music clubs featuring a wide range of music including rock, punk, hip-hop, jazz, country, gospel, and alternative. Our top picks will put you in the groove. Blues Alley in Georgetown has been Washington's top jazz club since 1965, featuring such artists as Karrin Allyson, Wynton Marsalis, and Maynard Ferguson. There are usually two shows nightly at 8 and 10pm; some performers also do midnight shows on weekends. For something more high-brow, the Emmanuel Music theater, housed in a gorgeous building, fills with equally exquisite music every Sunday from mid-September through mid-May. Bank of America Pavilion is one of the most pleasant venues in the area; this giant white tent encloses a 5,000-seat waterfront pavilion. A landmark space in Harvard's Memorial Hall, Sanders Theater schedules big names in classical, folk, and world music, as well as student performances. Just a couple of blocks from the Clarendon Metro Station, IOTA Club and Cafe is a great place to meet friends, have a bite, and listen to some great local live acts. Whatever you are looking for, from funk to metal to classical, the Washington music scene has something for you.
