D.C.’s Frank “Scooby” Sirius—best known for playing guitar with a credit card as a pick and singing with groups like the Chuck Brown Band and Team Familiar (formerly Familiar Faces)—has also spent the last six years developing his own R&B career. Sirius’ voice sounds polished and friendly enough for pop, but he can soulfully wail in earthy, old-school tones just as well as he climbs the scales with his falsetto. For this gig, Sirius will be joined by a band that includes keyboardist Marcus Young and drummer Kenny “Kwick” Gross from the Chuck Brown Band. While the emphasis will be on rhythm and blues, Sirius says he may include a few percussive go-go numbers to get his fans out of their seats and shaking.
