Up and coming local talent !Abstract rocked the nation’s capital on Saturday afternoon at the Atomic Rooster Pub at 303 Bank street.

With their blues-infused classic . . .

Rock & Roll style and audience interaction, they kept the crowd entertained and the dance floor full. Their infectious music kept the people coming in off the street until it was standing room only.

A staff member said, “I haven’t seen a crowd this large on a Saturday afternoon for as long as I can remember.”

!Abstract had the crowd’s undivided attention from start to finish and after three encores and a standing ovation they chalked it up as a successful show.

!Abstract thanked the audience for making them feel at home and hoped they had as much fun as they did entertaining them.

Members of !Abstract:

Jared Lance (Campbell’s Bay) – Bass, Vocals

Clay Murray (Shawville) – Electric & Acoustic Guitars
