Flowerbomb - Homecoming Show

Flowerbomb’s homecoming show brings the Washington, D.C. alt-indie band back to Union Stage for a free evening celebrating their local roots. Known for the raw, observational songwriting of frontperson Rachel Kline and the joyful, tight-knit energy of their live performances, Flowerbomb has earned recognition from D.C.’s Wammies, taking home Best Rock Song and Best Rock Band honors in 2023 and 2024. Their sound fits alongside indie contemporaries like Hop Along, Soccer Mommy, and Japanese Breakfast, blending clever songwriting with a distinct alternative edge and lyrics that land with relatable emotional weight. The band released their debut LP *pretty dark* in 2020, followed by the two-volume *Gloom Scroll* series in 2024, and are currently at work on their second full-length album with producer Kyle Pulley at Headroom Studios in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This homecoming show also features support from Cal Rifkin and Taisha Estrada, making it a stacked local bill at the waterfront venue.
