Vance Gilbert burst onto the singer/songwriter scene in the early 90's when the buzz started spreading in the folk clubs of Boston about an ex-jazz singer who was knocking 'em dead at open mikes. His latest album “Unfamiliar Moon” finds Vance at the top of his songwriting game.

WAMMIE Award winners, Last Train Home, return to Northern Virginia and take the Atrium stage on May 10.

Finally, on May 24, Northern Virginia’s favorite son, Robbie Schaefer from Eddie From Ohio rounds out the lineup with a hometown show that is sure to be a fitting culmination for the series.
