Founding members Dan Gage, Matt Febles, and brothers Daniel and David Rothman first played together at the Flashband 60’s Showcase in 2014. Higher Numbers started writing original songs that represent the members’ influences, ranging from classic rock, metal, to funk. Leader singer Ginny Hill, well-known in the DC music scene as the lead singer of The Perfectionists, joined the band in early 2018 for the NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia Fundraiser at the Black Cat main stage. That show rocked so hard that Ginny and the band joined forces permanently. In December 2018, Higher Numbers released its first two singles, “The Road” and “I Know Your Name”, recorded at the famous Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, VA. The songs were recorded by friend of the band Cati Sesana and mixed by Dr. T.

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.
