Entertainment

Patrick Owens

Patrick Owens is a chalk artist from Washington, DC. He began his craft eight years ago when, working as a bartender, started recreating elaborate fonts for the bar’s chalkboard in his spare time. What started out as a hobby quickly turned into a career of creating unique display boards, murals, and signs for restaurants, bars, offices, and private events (including weddings).

Some of his past commissions include Pizza Paradiso, Union Pub, American Ice Company, Smith Commons, Bourbon and Union Market. www.chalkartdc.com

Justin Trawick

Justin Trawick is not just another man with a guitar. He’s a multi-talented performer, balancing between roles as a soloist and band frontman while on the side running the nationally touring songwriter series “The 9”. His self-described brand of “Urban Folk Rock” inspires comparisons with troubadours such as Bob Schneider, Ryan Adams, and G. Love.

The 29 year old from Arlington, Virginia invokes on stage a deep sense of raw emotional energy stemming from his incredibly personable lyrics and captivating delivery. Seamlessly balancing between the musical loner persona of a singer-songwriter and as the front man of his collective, The Justin Trawick Group, this versatility allows Trawick to rock out in clubs with his band to performances in intimate acoustic venues with just his guitar and his voice.
