For the sixth year in a row Listen Local First D.C. is teaming up with The 9 Songwriter Series to present a holiday spectacular featuring some of our most talented DMV musicians performing their favorite holiday tunes! Listen Local First D.C. (LLF) is a local music initiative devoted to building awareness and creating opportunities for local musicians to raise the profile of D.C.’s local music scene.
