Founded by acclaimed saxophonist Elijah Jamal Balbed (2016 Artist of the Year, Washington City Paper), the Jo Go Project blends, funk, jazz and hip-hop with DC’s indigenous sound of go-go. This will be JoGo’s CD release event for Northern Virginia – we dare you to sit still for this one! Sponsored by Eden Center.
The Jogo Project is releasing their first studio EP, One For Pops via The Beat & Path. To celebrate the release, JoGo will be performing at the historic Blues Alley in Washington, DC on the day of the album’s worldwide release, Tuesday, November 14.
The performance will feature many of the musicians who have collaborated with the band over the last 3 years as well as some legendary surprise guests. The show is hosted by DC pop sensation and lead singer of the Blackbyrds: JusPaul.
In the spirit of the Godfather of Go-Go, Chuck Brown, we want everybody to come together as one and experience the music and the vibes together. Chuck always spread love and positivity wherever he went, and we're dedicated to keeping that movement ALIVE!
Two performances: 8PM & 10PM
Hosted by JusPaul

In May of 2014 - two years after Chuck Brown's death - The JoGo Project was formed. Although heavily influenced by Chuck and his music, the band has since developed a unique Jazz-Fusion sound of our own. Having played festivals and venues all over DC, they've decided it's time to take the next step and go into the studio.
