Description:

Back in the late 2000s, Busboys and Poets shook things up midweek with Hump-Day Groovez, a lively Wednesday-night music series held at our 14th & V location.

Fast-forward almost two decades: to celebrate 20 years of fostering creative connection and cultural conversation, we are bringing back that same spirit—for one special, one-time anniversary event. Channeling the good vibes and communal energy of the past, this exclusive edition featuring Billboard-charting & NAACP Image Award–nominated jazz keyboardist Marcus Johnson, delivering an unforgettable night that both honors the old magic and celebrates the growth and legacy of Busboys and Poets  

Alive with fresh artistry, our anniversary performance bridges the original “Hump-Day Groovez” vibe to feed your mind, body, and soul on a grand 20-year celebratory scale.
