The Sidleys at Brookside Gardens
The final band at Brookside Gardens summer twilight concert series is The Sidleys.
The husband and wife songwriting team of Annie and Steve Sidley create their finest music yet as indie rock and soul group, The Sidleys. Influenced by artists as diverse as Stevie Wonder and The Beatles, and powered by Annie's soulful voice, The Sidleys write songs that are memorable and modern, yet instantly classic. A family-based collective, they are frequently joined on both stage and record by their sons, Sean, Colin and Ian, three uniquely talented musicians in their own right.

Join NoVA Live Music Mingle's very own Joe Reiman for his solo gig debut at Herndon's World Famous **Jimmy's Old Town Tavern**. After countless open mic and Memorial Day & Labor Day weekend sets at Jimmy's, he's beyond excited to spend a full afternoon entertaining the JOTT crowd.

Sunday funday: let's play dodgeball at Scioto Audubon park
Dodgeball is back again!
If you’ve been wanting to come out, this is an easy one to join. We’ll be playing for about 1.5 to 2 hours, you do not need to bring any equipment, and no experience is needed.
We use a specific set of rules and equipment to make the games run better and keep them fun for everybody, not just people who already know how to play.
