We went to the annual Columbia Pike Blues Festival in Arlington yesterday, always great fun, and caught two artists: Stacy Brooks and Amani Burnham, shown here.

Brooks is a local D.C. blues artist, with a dance-party vibe. Burnam is much more of a concert performer, combining styles of Chuck Berry, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Jimi Hendrix. And he's only 20 years old.
