DJ Set by Tim Jackson EPK
tim jacksonTim Jackson began dj’ing with his first set of Technics 1200′s over 20 years ago. Having residencies in nightclubs in the Mid-West, DC and VA, he brings experience with many genres and crowds, House music being his main focus. From different styles of House to Funky Breaks and Vocal Drum and Bass, classic club tracks and hip hop, Tim is versatile, experienced and has a keen ear for great music.
Musical Performance by FUTURE
futureThe band name “Future” was derived from a celebratory toast to the completion of their first song, “Carpe Diem” – in which the band unexpectedly cheered “to the future!” They paused for moment, and laughed together at the realization that they had finally discovered their long awaited band name. With over fifteen years of combined professional music experience Future uniquely delivers an experimentation of sound utilizing elements of Hip Hop, Reggae, Electronica, and Rock Fusion. From outdoor festivals and underground clubs to premier music venues and sound-stages Future is cultivating a dedicated following of listeners who are as diverse as the band itself.
Musical Performance by House of Soul
House-of-Soul-Cover-1000px 2House of Soul wants you to unplug your laptop and connect with people again – this time, on the dance floor. In an age when parties are started by pressing “play” on a MacBook, and partygoers are more often glued to their smartphones than to each other, House of Soul is remixing the concept of a dance party. House of Soul pulsates music like a DJ would – but with real instruments – to create a personal and intimate approach to making a crowd sweat. It’s the kind of music you’d hear at 2:00 a.m. at a loft party, at the U Street Music Hall or a Deep Sugar party in Baltimore. The band’s debut album, “Let’s Move,” draws on influences like Jamiroquai, Incognito and DJ Louis Vega, fusing house, funk and soul into groovy, uplifting jams.
Musical Performance by Batala
batalaBatala in Washington, D.C. is part of a larger Batala family created in 1997 by Giba Gonçalves. Born and raised in Salvador, Bahia in Brazil, Giba was living in Paris when he first had the idea for the band. Open to anyone with an interest in learning the samba-reggae beat, the band started off with 60 people. From Paris it spread to other cities in France, Belgium and the United Kingdom. In 2003, the band finally made its way back to its origins, brought to Brazil by Paulo Garcia, also the founder of the Portsmouth Batala. Composer and musical director, Giba enlisted the help of friends from the bands and from Salvador in order to create the visual identity of the band. The instruments and clothings are all manufactured in Salvador, Bahia, where the band has a social program that gives jobs to many families. From there they are shipped to the bands around the world. In 2007, the newest branch of the Batala band was created in Washington, DC, expanding the reach of the band’s music to the United States. Today, the band has over 300 percussionists around the world.
Musical Performance by Marcatu de Baque Virado
MaracatuMaracatu de Baque Virado is an Afro-Brazilian percussive tradition from the north-east of Brazil.
Maracatu Baque do Mangue runs ongoing workshops in Afro-Brazilian rhythms, focusing on Maracatu de Baque Virado, a style of percussion from Recife, Brasil. In these workshops, students learn the technique and language of five instruments, work on rhythm and movement, and learn to sing while playing an instrument.

The Yards Park
waterfront_2Like no other park in the region, The Yards Park is a new regional waterfront destination, offering a whole new way for local residents to enjoy the outdoors and the river. The 5.5 acre park--the size of about four football fields--includes a ¼ mile long boardwalk along the water and was designed as a series of unique “outdoor rooms” to provide a variety of experiences from the great lawn to the sculptural pedestrian bridge, the waterfall/canal basin to the overlook and riverfront gardens. The Yards Park was built through a public/private partnership between the federal General Services Administration, the District of Columbia, and Forest City Washington and is managed and programmed by the Capitol Riverfront Business Improvement District.
