Fans of D.C.’s own Junior League Band and front woman Lissy Rosemont should fear not. Although the Atlanta-born Rosemont and her husband Mike Melia are soon expecting their first child (a girl), Rosemont swears she will be back recording and touring in the not-too-distant future. This week, the Junior League Band will play the “Farewell for Now and Happy 30th Birthday Show” in celebration of the baby, Rosemont’s 30th birthday (on August 17) and all things Junior League.

“It will be really cool to do the show,” said Rosemont with a bit of a laugh talking about how she’ll position her banjo in front of her stomach during the show. “Some of the bookers were a little worried because I’m so pregnant but that was kind of fun. D.C. fans are almost like an extended family so I figured I’d just embrace it, have fun with it.”
