Seventh Stanine is a gathering of artists who, against all promise of financial gain, notoriety, or any of the usual tropes associated with playing music, continue to make art because they have to; they can’t imagine their lives without it. Originating in 2016 with an idea by DC band The Caribbean to bring together friends, accomplices, and acquaintances, the first installation of the festival was held at the The Dew Drop Inn NE DC on Saturday June 3, 2017. Quoted in the Washington City Paper at the time, founder Matthew Byars said, “'I had long thought about having a festival in the smallest venue possible—literally like a tiny room,‘” says Byars of The Caribbean, a quietly beloved D.C. experimental-pop band. His daydream is now an actual thing. The lineup is a roll call of artists The Caribbean knows well or at least admires. Over the years the festival has featured over 50 different musical artists, growing in scope and scale each year.
