THE BLUES WARRIORS PERFORM THE 2ND TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH
Harmonica master Mark Wenner goes non-stop. As the founder/leader of the blues and roots rock band, The Nighthawks, he’s been kicking out great music for over 50 years. The Nighthawks have amassed a release collection of nearly 30 albums, and Wenner has released four solo projects. Now, he brings us Mark Wenner’s Blues Warriors.
“This band is actually a blues band,” says Wenner, addressing comparisons to the ‘Hawks. “The Nighthawks are a blues and roots-rock band. This band, with upright bass, is more authentic, old school and swinging. It’s closer to the <a href="https://www.americanbluesscene.com/cash-box-kings-sign-alligator-records/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Cash Box Kings</a> than <a href="https://www.americanbluesscene.com/j-geils-dead-71/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">J.

"Ray Weaver, is a seasoned musician and storyteller. 
His weathered guitar and honest voice carry the weight of years gone by, a testament to the authenticity of his songs. He digs deeply into the fabric of real life, drawing inspiration from personal experiences and those of the people he has encountered along his journey. 
Ray's songs resonate deeply with listeners and he has the rare ability to transform life into songs and stories that are intensely personal, yet still touch a universal chord. Through humor, poignancy, and raw honesty, Ray connects with his audience on a profound level, reminding them of the shared human experiences that bind us all together. 
Ray has played concerts and festivals across the United States and in Europe. His music has been used on FOX television, the Travel Channel, the WB Network, Netflix and featured on radio and internet stations worldwide. 
”The writing talent here is really pretty formidable. The names of Steve Earle, Townes van Zandt and Guy Clark all spring to mind." 
–Doug Floyd of <a href="https://altcountrytab.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">altcountrytab.com</a> 
”…a master storyteller who knows how to wrap an intensely personal cloak.” –J. Doug Gill from Musicians Monthly

Throughout his 20+ year career Doug has enjoyed touring and recording with many top blues artists, including Kim Wilson, Gary Primich, Lazy Lester, Alberta Adams, AC Reed and Johnny "Yard Dog" Jones to name a few; as well as with his own band featuring various artists such as Greg "Fingers" Taylor, Terry Hanck, Steve Guyger and Dennis Gruenling. Doug Deming &amp; the Jewel Tones play traditional blues, West Coast and Texas swing, and early 50's roots rock. This is real deal rockin' rhythm &amp; blues!

<a href="https://billstarksmusic.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Bill Starks</a> is an award winning songwriter and keyboard player with a rockin' piano style and a tendency to defy genres, blending rock n roll, honky tonk, boogie woogie and blues into a kind of Americana musical gumbo.
As a member of DC's longtime favorite Americana group Ruthie and the Wranglers, as well NRBQ tribute band Me &amp; the Boys, and a BandHouse Gigs regular, Bill is a favorite for DC audiences, with a lovable lived-in voice, amazing piano chops, and a distinctive songwriting style. His tune "300 Miles from Memphis To New Orleans" won WAMA's song-of-the-year award. In addition to recording with Ruthie and the Wranglers, Bill has released two solo CD's, "I See Trouble" and "Do You Hear Me Now?" on Azalea City Recordings. In 2015 Bill received the WAMA Songwriter of the Year award.

A fan aptly described <a href="https://www.grandsons.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Grandsons</a> exuberant sound as “American music in a blender with the lid off.” The more prominent elements in this eclectic whirlpool are New Orleans rhythm and blues, rockabilly, swing, and country two-steps. The Grandsons bring with them a pawn shop of instruments. Vocalist-guitarist-trumpeter Alan MacEwen charms audiences with his sly wit and winsome original songs. DC blues veteran Matthew Sedgley locks in the groove on drums and percussion. Saxophonist Chris Watling puts out a sound so meaty and memorable that he is in demand all over as a guest artist and session player. Moe Nelson holds down the low end on upright bass but has been known to break out the ukulele. Join The Grandsons as they move and shake into their 3rd decade in the world of rock and roll!

Most colleges close early applications in 7 weeks.
Applying early can often be beneficial - higher acceptance rates, more scholarships, consideration for honors college, etc.
However, applying early can also limit your options financially or rush you to submit a weaker application.
Join our free workshop led by a certified college counselor to learn whether early applications are the best path for your family. We'll break down the pros and cons so you can make an informed decision.
Parents and students welcome.
