The band takes Beatles lovers on a fun musical journey and invites audiences to sing along and dance while learning about these irresistible beats. Los Day Trippers has entertained audiences at NPR, the Kennedy Center, and concerts and festivals across the DMV area and the Eastern Shore. Join us... All you need is love and Los Day Trippers!

Why fight the crowds to see the Cramps or the Reverend Horton Heat when you can experience home-grown rockabilly? Hailing from rustic Falls Church, Jumpin’ Jupiter is a four-piece hillbilly hootenanny complete with stand-up bass, twangy guitar, and sideburns. Jumping Jupiter began performing together in the summer of' 92 with 3 of the original 4 members still playing together today! The band’s originals more than surpass minimum rockabilly standards, and the guitar leads range from Scotty Moore-ish riffs to jams straight out of ’60s beach-movie soundtracks.
