Join us on Thursday, May 30 at 6PM for a special outdoor performance by Femi and the Foundation, hosted in partnership with Songbyrd. Bring your friends, grab some food from Union Market’s vendors, and enjoy a lively evening of music on the plaza stage. This event is free and open to the public.
Femi and the Foundation is a band on the rise. Channeling the spirit of The Roots, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fugees, and Erykah Badu, they balance raw and rooted musicality with fearless experimentation in a fusion of funk, rock, hip-hop, and r&b — lending additional influence from afrobeat, psychedelic rock, blues legends, and modern jazz innovators.
Based in Washington, DC, they have quickly established themselves as a headlining act and as broad-reaching collaborators, drawing large crowds at some of DC’s most iconic regional venues and community music festivals. Their 2024 EP, Build for Us, showcases this evolution, with a full-length album planned for release in August 2025.
This is music for the mo(ve)ment — music for hope, for solidarity, and for justice. Build with us.
