Sligo Creek Golf Course has begun featuring local bands playing on the patio in front of Sligo Pit Bar-B-Que on Fridays from 6-8 p.m. Tonight, Trainwreck will play. Later this summer, Marcus Johnson and the Nighthawks will play larger benefit shows on the lawn.
Events this week include live music tomorrow night at Sligo Creek Golf Course, an opening reception for artist John Latham in Takoma Park, Purple Line community team and opponents of Beltway expansion group meetings, a special screening at AFI marking the Stonewall uprising 50 years ago, and the D.C. Blues Society 4th Friday happy hour at the American Legion.
The Silver Spring Jazz Festival will go on this summer after all, thanks largely to community feedback in reaction to a Source story about its apparent demise in favor of a series of smaller events. The festival will be held Saturday, Aug. 24 and the list of performers will be released in a few weeks. In the meantime, the Thursday Summer Concert Series is back next week.
This week’s events feature the Silver Spring Blues Festival on Saturday, the return of the Silver Spring Summer Concert Series, a Pepco community meeting, two opportunities for community sings, and baseball with the Silver Spring-Takoma Thunderbolts.
This week’s events feature several community meetings on school construction, the Purple Line and other topics, an online discussion with the county executive, film screenings, live music in several local venues and a Silver Spring-Takoma Thunderbolts baseball game, among others.
