About NTBH

Not This Blue House, based in Washington, D.C., blends bluesy rock with a soulful singer-songwriter style. Building on her self-described musical origins as a “coffee-shop singer with an acoustic guitar,” Leah Danielle brought in Wade Ingram (lead guitar), Keith Ingram (bass), and Pat Garofalo (drums), to form Not This Blue House and answer an age-old question: What if Joni Mitchell fronted Guns n’ Roses? Since their first full set (as Leah Danielle and the Weight) at Petworth Porchfest in April 2024, the band delivers powerhouse vocals, searing guitars, and hypnotic grooves from a driving rhythm section to bring the heat and heart to every show. The band’s debut album, The 19th Place EP (2025), features their wide-ranging sound—from the punch and grit of “Goodbye” to the wistful sway of “Arcadia.”
