This band of seasoned musicians recreates the sounds of the 1980s; a day when Ronald Reagan was President, M-TV first aired, CDs emerged, Acid Washed jeans were "Cool" and alternative music was called "New Wave". This period has resurfaced in today's entertainment industry. VH-1 has multiple segments echoing from the 80's Video Generation, radio stations across the U.S. feature artists from the 1980s in daily "flashback" programs while 1980s anthems have permeated TV commercials.

At the intersection of swing, rockabilly, and jump blues is where you'll find King Teddy, happily hanging out and humming Beatles tunes. Although their influences are varied (including everyone from Louis Prima to Sam Cooke to Gene Vincent to the a-fab-forementioned quartet), they are single-minded in their musical mission-- to swing, baby!

Charlie Adler
Taste DC "Food and Wine Pairing- a Refreshing Perspective"
|
Charlie Adler will engage all your senses in understanding how taste is part of all your past experiences and pleasures! Charlie feels that understanding wine and food pairing is no different than cooking a delicious dish: all flavors need to work together in some harmony. Pairing is an incredibly enjoyable part of a meal that helps to create a wonderful wine and food synergy when the whole is greater than its parts. The idea that there is only one wine to be paired with any one dish, or there is only one way to pair wine with food is a simple misunderstanding of how flavors work together.
