RPCVnexus is excited to join forces with Pine Apple for a live show at Shaw's Tavern on August 8 at 7pm!

Pine Apple is a DC-based band known for its genre-blending sound that fuses soul, rock, pop, and jazz into lush, original songs with unapologetically feminist-forward lyrics. Their electrifying live shows are a journey—seamlessly shifting from high-energy, booty-shaking grooves to hypnotic, trance-like moments. With a vibrant mix of originals and reimagined covers, Pine Apple creates a powerful sense of connection between the band and the audience.

Made up of part-time musicians with full-time lives, Pine Apple is fueled by a shared passion for making music that moves people. The collective features:

Jenna Smith (RPCV Madagascar) – vocals

Sebastian Valenzuela– guitar

Jeremy Bayes (RPCV Panama)– keyboards

Kevin Cordt – trumpet

Soren Walljasper – bass

Jonathan Mangual – drums

Whether on stage or in the studio, Pine Apple delivers an unforgettable experience rooted in joy, soul, and solidarity.
