Bitter Luck brings a unique rock ‘n’ roll sound from Virginia and beyond, their original music modernizing the classic-rock vibes of Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, and Guns N’ Roses, with a Rush- and Winery Dogs-inspired, progressive flair.

Their debut EP, Show Your Hand (produced by Ben Green at Ivakota Recording in Washington D.C.), was released October 31, 2025, and the band’s focus is now on hitting the road and bringing their music to a city near you . . . so, get ready, Reston!

The band is fronted by Ean Eschenburg’s powerful, wide-ranging vocals and the virtuosic versatility of guitarist Andrei Wells. Rounding out the rhythm section is the biting bass playing of Will Gies and drummer Eric Levy’s hard-hitting grooves. First time at RTC! Once you hear them, you’ll agree — probably not the last! Have you heard/seen No Vanity? Who gets the Led out today with original music? Bitter Luck.
