Fusilier, Bartees Strange, and WSABI Fox at The Sultan Room
On Thursday, March 12, 2020, The Sultan Room hosted a show featuring sets by acts from New York City (Fusilier and WSABI Fox) and Washington, DC (Bartees Strange). Strange released an EP of covers by The National the next day (Friday, March 13th) called Say Goodbye To Pretty Boy and performed them during his set. Since the show took place during the COVID-19 epidemic, the acts addressed it during their stage banter. WSABI Fox asked if everyone washed their hands before playing her first song, Strange thanked the audience for risking their health by attending and Fusilier also expressed gratitude for people attending despite the circumstances.
