Justin Trawick's giant birthday show at Pearl Street Warehouse

 Amazing show at Pearl Street Warehouse for Justin Lawrence Trawick 's birthday with the Common Good, Kentucky Avenue, GriefCat, Courtney King and many other musicians! This was Justin's 12th Annual 29th Birthday Show and was the biggest one yet with a full house at the Wharf DC venue. I especially loved the four comedic songs by GriefCat which had the crowd roaring at "Sexy Sea Shanty" and "Cryptobro."

You can view a live recording of Justin and The Common Good performing Back of the Line at Pearl Street on Youtube.
