Washington’s most exclusive new music venue: Noochie’s ‘Front Porch’

There is a house a little south of D.C. that is, most of the time, just a house. A tidy, brick-faced single-family home on a quiet street full of other similar, unassuming homes.

You might not even notice it, unless you happened to be passing by as an elegantly dressed R&B singer and his eight-piece band took over the front lawn to play a quick set, as happens every so often.
