Featured Performers
July 12: Jessica Allossery
From house concert tours to song commissions, soloist Jessica Allossery (pronounced a-loss-er-ee) is an authentic Canadian songstress based in Elkridge, MD. Velvety-smooth vocals paired with a mellow acoustic guitar, Allossery has been celebrated globally with a sound comparable to Norah Jones.
Music began as a hobby in 2008, but Jessica quickly discovered a hidden talent for song writing and started making a name for herself. Over a decade later, the proof is in the stats with over 9 million organic views on YouTube and 70 thousand social followers. She has earned loyal audiences from five independent music tours across the USA, Canada, Germany and Brazil.
July 19: Blair's West
A Marriage of Melody. Blair’s West was formed out of love by husband and wife duo, Beau and Blair, and has grown into one of the top roots-rock party bands in the region.
Their formative years in Nashville were spent touring the world with country megastars and refining their craft in the Honkytonks of Broadway. The passion they put into playing covers for 8+ hours a day led to unique takes on classic songs and an unmatched energy and crowd interaction.
From The Beatles to the Eagles, Bon Jovi to Zac Brown, and Maren Morris to Merle Haggard, they fill the dance floor with their surprising sets of eclectic hits delivered with a touch of Tennessee twang and irresistible enthusiasm.
July 26: Azil Rain
Azil Rain, composed of Matt Rinker on guitar and backing vocals and Liza Albright on bass and lead vocals, is a duet band that performs everything from R&B to jazz, to funk, and folk (and more). Their wide variety of musical styles highlights their love of music across all genres. They work collaboratively as songwriters as well, incorporating original material into their sets.
