The Loving Paupers

The Loving Paupers are an up-and-coming band out of Washington, DC, featuring a talented cast of established and diverse regional musicians. Make no mistake, The Loving Paupers are a Reggae/Dub outfit, but their music is influenced by the likes of The Beatles, The Supremes, to the late Gregory Issacs. Featuring powerhouse lead vocalist, Kelly Di Filippo, The Loving Paupers have recently recorded their EP, working alongside Grammy Award winning Brazilian producer, Victor Rice. As the band prepares their debut album, they have received rave reviews for their performances at various festivals, to venues such as the Kennedy Center and DC’s 9:30 Club. The Loving Paupers are starting to turn heads, and they look to build upon their recent success.
