I.M.P. and the 9:30 Club Announce Partnership
with Jammin Java and Daniel Brindley

WASHINGTON, D.C., Aug. 12, 2015 —- I.M.P., owner of Washington, D.C.’s legendary 9:30 Club — which is a multiple-time winner of Rolling Stone’s, Billboard’s and Pollstar’s Nightclub of the Year awards — announced today that it has entered into a partnership with Jammin Java and its co-owner/booker Daniel Brindley.  Brindley will book U Street Music Hall and will help book the 9:30 Club and other I.M.P. venues. Also as part of the partnership, Jammin Java, Vienna, Va.’s 200-person capacity music club, will become part of the portfolio of venues in which I.M.P. presents concerts.

For 31 years, Seth Hurwitz, chairman of I.M.P. and co-owner of the 9:30 Club, booked all 9:30 Club shows himself. Four years ago, Hurwitz handed off those responsibilities to Melanie Cantwell and since then, she’s also taken on booking the Lincoln Theatre, and I.M.P. shows at U Street Music Hall, Echostage and other venues in the Washington/Baltimore area. Brindley will assist Cantwell in booking all these venues in addition to Jammin Java.

“A couple of years ago, we worked with Daniel on a show at the Lincoln,” said Hurwitz. “I remember from beginning to end thinking, wow, what a normal guy –  which is the best compliment you can give someone in our business. He had the same values, and he had a very level head. He was a real promoter. He’s only the second person besides Melanie that I’ve ever entrusted with my business like this, so that should tell you something. We like the way he and his brothers run Jammin Java. He’s experienced and respected. And he’s a really nice person, which I think is important.”
