This leading track from Heather Maloney‘s latest EP Christmas Anyway, “Sing a Christmas Song Anyway” is a personal and relatable sentiment about the unique and unfamiliar feelings surrounding the upcoming holiday season. The usual concerns regarding travelling and crossing off the gift wish-list are compounded by the additional national and global state of affairs, but Maloney does an excellent job of keeping the listener focused on doing what we can with the resources in front of us and to keep hearts and minds on making memories with those we love: “It’s just not the same this year, but I’m still here so I will sing a Christmas song anyway.”

As a producer bringing some major events to Capital Pride this year, Zach Renovátes admits that he was keen to get Betty Who on the lineup. After having seen several of her live performances already, Renovátes knew the Australian would make a fine marquee addition to the “Kinetic Presents Candyland” event at Echostage June 10.
Fortunately, she was both available and interested.
“Something that I personally saw was that [Betty Who] is one of the most pro-LGBT singer-songwriters I’ve ever ever seen perform live,” Renovátes said, adding that the D.C. audiences at her concerts come largely from within the gay community. “So she absolutely knows that we as queer people make up a huge percentage of her fan base.”
The June 10 event is the main draw of a weekend of collaborations between Kinetic Presents and the Capital Pride Alliance in celebration of D.C. Pride 2023. Other big names who will play at various venues around the District include DJs Abel and Cindel, Dan Slater, as well as Jerac and Paulo Fragoso. It’ll be a pride-filled musical weekend indeed, with Echostage, Sax, Bunker and Bliss Nightclub hosting the pulsing sounds of revelry. And there’s also the big parade on June 10.
