Drew Davis / Ben "Baby" Copperhead & David Menestres / Brick Digest presents "Fort Lincoln"
On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, Rhizome DC presents a triple-bill evening featuring three distinct performances. The first is Drew Davis, best known as a member of Crazy Doberman, performing a solo set; Davis has collaborated extensively with artists such as Zach Rowden, Rodger Stella, Tim Gick, Kyle Flanagan, and John Olson. The second set features Ben "Baby" Copperhead, a New York City-based multi-instrumentalist and vocalist known for his “otherworldly” banjo playing that blends modal and tonal explorations with samplers, processed drum machines, tape loops, and handmade electronic instruments. Copperhead will be joined on double bass by longtime collaborator David Menestres, whose playing has been described by Wire magazine as "particularly seductive." Copperhead recently released his fifth studio album *Catch A Cold* on Territory Punk Records, following his critically acclaimed 2023 album *Wailing Viridescence* on Shimmy-disc. The third portion of the evening is a talk presented by Brick Digest titled “Fort Lincoln,” which explores the history of the unrealized Fort Lincoln “New Town” development in Northeast Washington, DC. The event runs from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM, with doors likely opening at the start time. Tickets are $15.
