An eclectic alt-rock mix of originals and classics played on acoustic guitars and the world's one and only wireless electric washboard -- Road Trip Poets put on a unique sing-along dance-along, have-a-drink-and-listen show to remember! 

Road Trip Poets is a trio of multi-instrumentalists. Eric Whitehair sings, and plays guitar and percussion (including the Washboard). Amy Pelsinski and Steve Carter play percussion from all over the world and sing. Ed Eibel plays guitars, and other string and percussion instruments.  Without a drum kit, the band has more control over volume and can play quieter venues, but can still rock out at any volume. 

The band writes and records original music, posted on Spotify and SoundCloud, and also posts performance videos on YouTube. Live shows also include wide range of rock, alt-rock, and blues covers from the 80s and 90s, classics from bands like the Beatles, Willy Nelson, and Del Shannon. Shows are family friendly and can be customized to fit venues. More information is on the Road Trip Poets Facebook and Instagram pages!

Past venues for Road Trip Poets shows in the DMV include: BabyCat Brewers, Diamondback Brewery, Twin Valley Distillers, Full Tilt Brewery, the Arlington County Fair, South 4-Corners (Silver Spring) Porchfest, Adams Morgan Porchfest, McGinty's Public House, Zen West, and the Fishhead Cantina. The band can turn it up for Friday and Saturday nights, and tone it down for family friendly Sunday afternoons.
