Justin Trawick headlined the first Jammin’ for Obama event at Jammin’ Java in Vienna, VA on Monday. I got there around 6:30, attempting to do my best impression of Cameron Crowe in Almost Famous. Sadly, Kate Hudson was not on hand, but Lindsey Brooks from Families for Obama was which was just as good.
The opening act was a young trio called either Empty-J or NPJ - I couldn’t quite hear over the din of the room. They were playing their first gig and earned extra points for the Obama stickers they attached to various body parts (see photos.)
By 7:30 or so there were close to 40 people in the room with a strong family presence and lots of cute little ones running around. Justin played acoustic guitar and sang his own songs, accompanied by a friend on the string bass. If I had to categorize the style, I’d call it a little like David Gray but with the rapid-fire lyrical delivery of Barenaked Ladies. A good time was had by all.
