Live Music

Four-time Latin Grammy Award winner Eliades Ochoa is one of the most celebrated soneros of all time, known for his masterful guitar playing, gravel-edged voice, and signature black hat. Often called “Cuba’s Johnny Cash,” his music draws from rural traditions and storytelling of the Cuban countryside. A founding member of the legendary Buena Vista Social Club, Ochoa rose to fame through the group's Grammy-winning album and Oscar-nominated documentary. His latest release, Guajiro, is a powerful testament to a lifelong musical journey, deeply rooted in Cuban tradition, yet resonating with universal appeal.

Los Lobos is one of my Top Favorite Bands. They have an eclectic mix of Rock, Folk and a Spectrum of Latino music. I’ve seen them live a bunch of times and the band and the crowd are a rousing lot of fun. I have a ticket for the April 19th. That show sold out and so the April 20th show was recently added. If anyone is in for the April 20th show, I will pick up a ticket for myself for that night, as well. I just might anyway. The Birchmere is the finest music venue I have ever been to, and since moving to Alexandria, I have been there about twenty times. The sound system is the finest I have ever heard at a venue. Even on my own, I find that it is easy to make friends at virtually every show. You can dine before or during the performance. The food is pretty good; the staff is outstanding. Here are videos representing the songs they played at their 2024 Birchmere show. I was there for that one and it was a blast! Skip around for a taste and/or give them all a listen. Lots of good stuff here, imho.

I get there early on show nights so that I can choose my own table. There are six seats at every table. If you want to join me at my table on April 19th and/or April 20th (Providing that anyone else is going) I will grab the table for up to six people. If it is more than six, I will try and grab another table. If it’s more than that, then we will have quite a party. Tickets are on sale right now. They are GA. To get a $5-$10 break, purchase your ticket at the box office on any evening that they are having a show. Those nights, the box office is open from 5 to 9. Check The Birchmere FAQ for full info.

Whether you grew up on these bands or just love high-energy live music, this is a night you don’t want to miss. Grab your friends, lace up your Vans, and get ready to party like it’s the mid-2000s again. Doors at 7PM, music at 7:30PM.
