Imagine the voice of Sara Bareilles mixed with the honesty of Joni Mitchell and the poetic lyricism of Ani DiFranco. If there's one word to describe Rebecca Berlin it is alchemy. Her musical style, “folk with a twist”-blends the narrative quality of traditional folk with elements of jazz and musical theater, and she is known for unique melodies and song structures, vulnerable storytelling and a voice that cuts through the noise. After taking a 13-year break from music to pursue dance and build her career as a Pilates/Yoga/Gyrotonic teacher, Rebecca burst back into the music scene in 2023 and is rapidly gaining attention as a writer, singer and performer.

Juels Bland is a Singer/Songwriter/Person. The music he...secretes(?) is a sort of jambalaya of Rock, Blues, Folk, Pop and Whimsy. The songs are mostly bummers, but they sound pretty so you may not notice. Some people like him. Well, his grandmother likes him. Allegedly.

Jasper Hobbs is a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter based in Washington DC. As the front-man and lead songwriter for the band Deccan Traps, Jasper has explored a range of lyrics, artistry, and musical genres. Throughout its existence, this group has been defined by its unique, genre-bending feel, and the ability to reinvent itself while maintaining a core sound. With each song, Deccan Traps shares a new piece of itself to its audience, aiming to bring true authenticity from the musicians onstage or wherever you are listening from. As a Berklee trained saxophonist, he has played around the east coast as part of jazz, blues, rock, punk, and reggae bands. He is also accomplished as a session musician. Jasper has a new indie-folk album on the way!

The Shipyard is a popup venue in Silver Spring with a donation door. Donations are split between the artists and Abodes Joy a MD-based nonprofit that trains and empowers diverse learners – women, nonbinary folx, and transgender people – in home repair to build skills, confidence, and community.
