Your D.C. Weekend: 9:30 Club birthday, Savannah Bananas
D.C.'s beloved 9:30 Club turned 45 last month, and Washingtonians can celebrate over four decades of jams at the music venue with a series of birthday bashes that kick off Friday. Why it matters: The seminal music venue has hosted over 11,000 artists since it opened in 1980 at its original location on F Street, Northwest. State of play: Swing by the Friday event at the Atlantis — which is designed to look like the original 9:30 Club — for a behind-the-scenes tour of the venue. (Dressing rooms included!) There will also be an exhibit of work by longtime 9:30 Club photographer Jim Saah featuring pics of all the iconic artists who played at the Atlantis during its 2023 opening season (Foo Fighters! Maggie Rogers!). Plus: Attendees get first dibs on an updated version of the 9:30 Club coffee table book (which has long been sold out). The new edition includes a list of every show played at the venue and a tribute to all the people who've shaped the club's history. Zoom in: The event is free, although registration is required. There are three time slots: 5-6pm, 6-7pm and 7-8pm. Can't make it this Friday? There will also be birthday events July 13 and Aug. 31. More fun things to do this weekend: 📖 The Washington Post's Pulitzer Prize-winning fashion critic, Robin Givhan, will be at AutoShop near Union Market on Thursday to discuss her new book about Virgil Abloh, the first Black artistic director at Louis Vuitton. (Free registration, doors open at 6pm, event from 7-8pm) 🤠 After clocking out of your " 9 to 5" on Thursday and Friday, head to the Kennedy Center to hear the National Symphony Orchestra perform some of Dolly Parton's greatest hits.

Maggie Rogers to Speak at Alma Mater NYU Tisch School of the Arts 2025 Graduation
Maggie Rogers is headed back to her alma mater to help send off this year's class of graduates, with the singer/songwriter announcing Monday (May 5) that she'll speak at the 2025 New York University Tisch School of the Arts commencement ceremony later in the month. Sharing a nine-year-old photo of herself in her purple graduation robes and cap, Rogers — who completed a bachelor's degree at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music in 2016 — posted the news on Instagram and wrote, 'see you at graduation.'

The ceremony will take place May 16 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Rogers' participation in the school's commencement is sure to be a full-circle moment, given how her career first took off when she was still in an NYU classroom. A filmed 2016 masterclass guest-led by Pharrell Williams for the Clive Davis Institute famously propelled the Maryland native into the spotlight, with the producer declaring in the viral video that he'd 'never heard anyone like' Rogers after listening to her then-unfinished song 'Alaska' during the session. The musician has since dropped three albums, all of which charted on the Billboard 200; Heard It in a Past Life, which features 'Alaska,' arrived in 2019, followed by 2022's Surrender and 2024's Don't Forget Me. In addition to earning her bachelor's at NYU, Rogers also finished a master's degree in religion and public life at Harvard University in 2022. See Tisch's announcement below.
