Songbyrd Sets Late-July Lineup Featuring Eli Derby, Honey Bxby, and Amelia Day

The summer touring circuit is heating up, and Washington, D.C.’s essential indie hub is locking in its late-July roster. According to scheduling data from the Soundcharts events monitor, Songbyrd has lined up a six-day stretch of showcases running from July 27 to August 1, 2026, highlighting three rising acts currently tracking on the industry radar. Maryland-bred R&B singer Eli Derby, signed to LVRN, brings his polished, contemporary vocal run to the District. He is joined on the watch-list bill by Honey Bxby, the New Jersey vocalist who has been carving out a lane with her sharp, unfiltered take on modern romance. Rounding out the featured performers is singer-songwriter Amelia Day, delivering her distinct indie-folk-leaning narratives. For a venue like Songbyrd, known for catching talent right before the mainstream pivot, this run serves as an efficient litmus test for who actually commands a room. My money is on Honey Bxby to walk away with the week's best set; her studio presence translates to a live grit that most clean-cut R&B acts cannot replicate on stage. Fans can purchase tickets directly through the Songbyrd box office website as individual dates are finalized.
