New Impressionz Live from the Howard Theatre @ the 2020 Go-Go Awards

Known as "Half-Band, Half-Amazing," New Impressionz turned up the heat for the 2020 Go-Go Awards in this performance live-streamed from the historic Howard Theatre in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

Built in 1909, the theatre was the first such facility built for Black audiences in the United States. This venue has hosted a long line of Black DC musical maestros from Duke Ellington to Go-Go Godfather Chuck Brown. Upon Brown's 2012 death, the theatre hosted a wake as his sunglasses-and-fedora clad body lay in state with crowds outside chanting "Wind Me Up, Chuck" for one last time.

New Impressionz' Leader TJ upholds the tradition for D.C's indigenous sound, and brings it to a new generation of fans, seamlessly melting sunny, old-school funk grooves into newer bounce beats.

The 2020 Go-Go Awards were presented by the Go-Go Museum & Cafe in collaboration with Traditional Arts DC.
