Live Acoustic: Greg Derby, October 28 at 7pm

Join us Wednesday, October 28, from 7 to 10 PM for an evening of original songs from DC-area singer-songwriter Greg Derby.

Greg has been writing and recording his original music since he was fifteen years old and growing up in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Drawing from a multitude of musical influences, including the classic rock of the ’60s and ’70s, the new wave, alternative, and grunge rock of the ’80s and ’90s, outlaw country, and modern Americana and folk, Greg’s music spans a variety of styles and tempos but always with a focus on storytelling. His sound and style are similar to classic American recording artists like Counting Crows, Tom Petty, John Mellencamp, and Bruce Springsteen.

You can find Greg’s music on all streaming services under the band name Story Street.

Flying Buddha Presents — Bad Behavior: Villains, OCTOBER 29 AT 8:30PM

Heroes follow the rules.

Villains write them.

This October, Bad Behavior returns with its darkest production yet. Villains is a theatrical pole cabaret celebrating the unforgettable characters audiences secretly love most.

Across six captivating acts, you’ll encounter criminal masterminds, queens of darkness, seductive manipulators, monsters, and agents of chaos brought to life through pole dance, movement, music, and immersive storytelling.

Set inside the intimate Side Bar at ON St. Elmo, this 90-minute experience combines cinematic performances with handcrafted cocktails and an energetic nightlife atmosphere.

Whether you’re drawn to comic book legends, gothic queens, classic movie villains, or the beautifully misunderstood antihero, Villains invites you to embrace your dark side for one unforgettable night.

One stage. Six acts. No heroes.
