Bluebelt (EP Release Show)

Bluebelt marks the release of its debut EP with a live set of original indie rock. The six-piece DC band grew out of high school and college friendships as well as connections in the local music scene, and its lineup features Eric Becker on keys, Ethan Frantz and Brett Mundy on guitar, Josh Mehr on drums, West Donnelly on bass, and Holly Teeters on vocals. The band released its debut single, “Sonar,” in 2025, followed by “Aspirin,” the first single from the new EP. Known for the chemistry and energy of its live performances, Bluebelt will be joined by Maryland indie rock group Lookout and University of Maryland-founded band The Overlook.

Lookout brings a five-member lineup led by vocalist Kate Pass, whose introspective songwriting and dynamic delivery are supported by catchy guitars and a driving rhythm section. The band released its debut EP, *All We Have*, in December 2025 and its single “Cool It” in July 2026. The Overlook features Patrick Scott, Ryan Jaikeran, Aditya Krishnamoorthy, Connor Kennedy, and Sean Wells. Its original material ranges from high-energy rock songs to more wistful pieces, and the band has performed throughout the DC and Baltimore area.
