Who's excited to see @femiandthefoundation at Howlabaloo???

Femi and the Foundation deliver a sound that is raw, fearless, and infectiously unique. Blending funk, rock, hip-hop, R&B, and global influences, the band generates the groove of a dance party, the force of a rock show, and the curiosity of artists who refuse to stay in one lane. The band has quickly become a standout presence in the DMV, rocking venues like Songbyrd, DC9, and Pearl Street Warehouse. In 2026, Femi and the Foundation continued their momentum beyond DC with shows in Baltimore, NYC, and Cleveland. Their debut album, Wrong Side of the Sun, earned the 2026 Wammie Award for Best Rock Album.
