Carrying forward the legacy of the Godfather of Go-Go, Wiley Brown leads the Chuck Brown Band in delivering the signature DC sound—funk-driven, percussive, and built for the people.
Home Rule Music Festival is more than just a stage—it’s a space where our history, creativity, and community come together to create something lasting. Every year, we honor the legacy of Black music while building a future that’s rooted in culture and powered by people. Each festival day features live performances spanning jazz, go-go, hip-hop, soul, and contemporary Black music, alongside a curated Music & Record Fair highlighting top record shops and local vendors, live art murals, a Kids Zone, and a wide selection of the city’s best local food and merch vendors.
