The Junk Yard Band

Stephen's On State · Media, PA

Legendary Washington, D.C. go-go band formed in 1980 by kids playing buckets, hubcaps, and pots and pans, best known for the Def Jam-era hits 'Sardines' and 'The Word' and still recording and touring today.

Expect go-go straight from the source: a nonstop percussive pocket of congas, timbales, and hand drums that rolls through the set without pauses, driven by a three-vocalist front line trading call-and-response. Classics like 'Sardines' and 'The Word' land with the same joyously raw, stripped-to-the-bones energy that made them pioneers of the genre.

Stephen's On StateStephen's on State is a casual-yet-upscale steakhouse and bar on Media's State Street, where live music fills an open-air setting alongside a full dinner menu and a lively bar scene. It's the kind of place where you can grab a drink, enjoy a great meal, and take in local musicians in a warm, energetic atmosphere.
