August 25, 2016 - Solas Concert
7:30pm - Nottoway Park, 9537 Courthouse Road, Vienna
Quintessential
Irish-American band recording and touring in the U.S. today.
Fifteen years ago, in a manner befitting its name (Gaelic for "light”),
Solas burst onto the Irish music scene and
instantly became a beacon –
an incandescent ensemble that found
contemporary relevance in timeless traditions without ever stooping to clichés.

August 26, 2016 - Scythian Concert
7:30pm - Grist Mill Park, 4710 Mt. Vernon Memorial Highway, Alexandria
Although the need for petrol got this Irish band started, it is the great times
and appreciative listeners that have kept them going.
They lightheartedly claim inspiration from the Scythians,
a bunch of pre-Mesopotamian barbarians who didn't use forks or phonics.
