The Anthem

Icelandic rockers Kaleo blend blues, folk, and soul into a raw, soulful sound anchored by frontman JJ Julius Son's smoky vocals. Their 2025 album MIXED EMOTIONS, produced by GRAMMY winners Eddie Spear and Shawn Everett, has been hailed for its raucous energy and career-spanning setlists. See them live at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. on Saturday August 8, 2026!

Houndmouth, the alternative blues and rock band from New Albany, Indiana, formed in 2011, built their reputation with fervent live shows alongside acts like Drive-By Truckers and the Lumineers, and festival stops at Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. Riding high on their new Brad Cook-produced album "Lordy," featuring guest turns from MJ Lenderman and Iron & Wine, plus the platinum hit "Sedona," they bring their raw, lived-in sound to The Anthem in Washington on Friday August 7, 2026!
