About us

Rock, Folk, Blues, Pop, Jazz, and sometimes Country! This group thrives on the energy of the live performance of singer-songwriters, classic bands, and up and coming musicians. We often patronize venues without reserve seating; 9:30 Club, Birchmere, Rams Head Live, Jammin Java and the lawns at Wolf Trap, Merriweather Post, and Jiffy Jube Live. Didn't buy an advance ticket online, that means you didn't get ripped off on the service charge. Need a night out with nice people? Sign up last minute and buy a ticket at the door from the house or from someone with a lame no show friend. Rain or shine, lets go see and hear some great music and drink a little beer and wine.

Toby Lightman @ Jammin Java
Wed, May 13 · 6:00 PM EDT
Jammin Java, 227 Maple Ave E, Vienna, VA, US
GA $30+fees

We have been a big fan of this woman since we saw her open for Jewel some 20 years ago. Not 25 anymore she still sings like a "bird on a wire". Some may her recall her minor chart hit in the video below and a new gem that I found on youtube:

Join us for a special evening celebrating the release of Toby Lightman's 10th studio album!
Lightman is an award-winning singer, songwriter, and self-taught producer, who debuted with Lava Records on the Billboard Hot 100 with her first single landing in the top 20. Since then, she has gone on to have a successful career spanning 20 years sharing stages with artists such as Jewel, Rob Thomas and Prince. Lightman's most recent single "Higher" climbed to #1 on the iTunes charts. With over 100 placements in film and TV, Lightman's smooth, soulful voice soars over beautifully penned songs of self-reflection through the journey of life.

Filene Center, 1551 Trap Rd, Vienna, VA, US
$53 + Fees Lawn
Tickets
This is the first of three shows by Sting at Wolf Trap over Memorial Day weekend. Thursday night, hopefully weather will be nice. Former Police front man and solo singer songwriter, the now 74 year old, Gordon Sumner (aka Sting) still puts on a good show. Please join us on the lawn at Wolf Trap where you can still bring in your own food, drink, and alcohol. It should be a fun time.

Sting release an album called The Bridge in 2021. I have not heard it. He also released a Duets album that did well in the UK.

Santana + Doobie Brothers: Oneness Tour 2026
Wed, Jun 24 · 5:30 PM EDT
Jiffy Lube Live, 7800 Cellar Door Dr, Bristow, VA, US
Tickets to summer promotion
TicketMaster

Santana is calling his tour with the Dobbie Brothers the Oneness 2026 Tour. This is a similar name as he used in 2024 with the Counting Crows. In fact we had this same pairing of these two bands in 2019 (pre covid). The set from Santana in 2024 at JIffy Lube Live was fantastic so lets go out and do it again. We have seen the Doobie Brothers over the past many summers and their shows have been very good as well.

Live Nation's Tickets to summer promotion will sell you $30 lawn seats for this show, or you can also find $40 seats in the rear corners of the pavilion.
