Music Mid-Week: A Taste of D.C. at our Doorstep

The vibrant retro red, white and green of Jarrod Hendricks’ windbreaker popped against the sea of gray van-roof directly above him. The window to his right exhibited the tapestry of a road trip: a tree, a building, a dash of purple, another car. The streaks of color in and out of the van were a mimicry of those on the cover of the album he helped create four years ago.
