Lady Rhythm at Fort Dupont Park
Fort Dupont Park Summer Theatre, 1900 Anacostia Dr SE, Washington, DC 20020

I was a little late unfortunately. I stood a fair distance away from the stage, but I enjoyed myself.

Lady Rhythm (in progress) around 8:07 PM
X) Miriamm-led Rufus' Sweet Thang - it cranked, she said, "Some things only a guitar can sing" and Genny soloed
X+1) Let Your Mind Go (an original by Miriamm) - it cranked
X+2) Steph Jones-led James Brown's Sex Machine - it cranked, Miriamm said, "Give it up for James Brown", she went on to talk about the places in DC he played
X+3) Teena Marie's Portuguese Love - it cranked, nice conga solo
X+4) They did band intros and each woman soloed as she was introduced: Genny (guitar), Candra (bass), Steph (keyboard), Denise (drums), Karis (percussion)
X+5) Chic's I Want Your Love - it cranked
They were done at about 8:40. I enjoyed their performance, the only complaint I had was that I wish it were longer. I'm not a fan because they are an all-female group, but simply because they crank.

I actually walked out behind most of the members of Lady Rhythm.
