The Winning Ticket: She & Him


courtesy of She & Him.

As a way to say thanks to our loyal readers, We Love DC will be giving away a pair of tickets to a 9:30 Club concert to one lucky reader each week. Check back here every Wednesday morning at 9am to find out what tickets we’re giving away and leave a comment for your chance to be the lucky winner!

This week we have a hot pair of tickets up for grabs! We are giving away a pair of tickets to the sold out She & Him show at the 9:30 Club on Wednesday, July 7th.

She & Him is one of those acts whose charm is impossible to resist. Between Zooey Deschanel’s 60’s pixie, throw-back voice and M. Ward’s magical guitar playing and classic pop arrangements, their music melts even the most jaded listener’s heart. It also doesn’t hurt that Deschanel makes for an incredibly cute front-woman. She & Him’s videos are ridiculously good-humored and adorable. Their albums are the musical equivalent of laying in the grass and watching the breeze tickle dandelions. It is no surprise that this show is sold out, as people everywhere fall in love with She & Him’s simple, effective pop approach. The music of She & Him is a refreshing treat and their show at the 9:30 Club next week will provide the perfect pop escape from a hot, July evening in DC.

For your chance to win these tickets simply leave a comment on this post using a valid email address between 9am and 4pm today. One entry per email address, please. If today doesn’t turn out to be your lucky day, check back here each Wednesday for a chance to win tickets to other great concerts.

  2. I am so sad that I missed out when the tickets for this show went on sale, and would love to win some!

  13. Sigh, if only I had the chance to be that close to Zooey. Even if I have to go against Ben Gibbard for her affections and love.

  18. This will probably be the most commented post ever here. I actually didn’t know they were coming, but this is prob worth the classic move of hanging outside 930 to find xtra tickets if I’m not ze vinner of dis contest.

  39. What better way to say you’re glad I have to stay in town that week than giving me some tix to the show!

  42. I still want tickets despite the fact Zooey has “Snooki” hair in that picture.

  43. she & him are amazing. i think it’d b ereally cool to watch em live. I’ve only seen their videos on youtube, so that’s really a downer. Zooey’s a great actress (500 Days of Summer = <3)

  44. Thanks for running this contest, I hope those tickets make their way into my hands – really like to see them live!

  47. YES! Oh my god.. I did not know they were coming to 9:30 until reading this. I’m so late. This would be a DREAM for my husband to see,he is a huge Zooey fan! What a birthday gift!!!

  49. Loved their set at Bonaroo (I will pledge money to NPR for the rest of my life for their amazing Bonaroo streams) and couldn’t think of a better way to spend an evening then share a 9:30 cupcake and sway to She & Him. Much obliged.
