One Loudoun Summer Concert Series Returns to Northern Virginia
Are you looking for a relaxing way to unwind after getting off work on a Wednesday night?
The One Loudoun Summer Concert Series returns to One Loudoun in Ashburn, Virginia.
WTOP’s Jason Fraley attended the inaugural event to play with Frederick, Maryland cover band Crash the Limo on May 22, and then spoke with the series organizer to preview this summer’s remaining shows.
“We are very happy with the turnout,” Real Estate Marketing and Specialty Leasing Coordinator Kelsey Smith told WTOP. “We organize these events so that the community has a place to meet and gather, so it was a great turnout for us. I would say from start to finish, coming and going, we saw between 150 and 200 people.”
The Crash the Limo band members had a blast performing in such a vibrant outdoor venue.
“It’s a lot of fun,” singer Jason Perry told WTOP. “Everyone can come to these things, so it’s fun. You have little children dancing, you have dogs dancing. … It is a wonder”.
“The best part was seeing the kids running around and having fun,” added lead guitarist Kevin Holmes.
The concert series continues this Wednesday, June 5 from 7 to 9 pm with the band Firekite.
“I think they’re a ’90s rock band, so if you’re in the area come down, it’s going to be a great time,” Smith said.
After that, “Full House” inspired band “Uncle Jesse” arrives on Wednesday, July 17.
“All the bands are in that ’90s and ’80s genre,” Smith said.
The second to last show is with Scott Kurt on Wednesday, August 14 from 7 to 9 p.m.
“Scott Kurt has played many of our other summer concert series and other events here, so the locals know him and are very excited for him,” Smith said.
It all culminates with Fantasm on Wednesday, September 11 from 7 to 9 p.m.
“(You know they’re great) just by their name,” Smith said.
This event is free and open to all ages. Pets are allowed and dancing is encouraged.
“In the square we have tables and chairs prepared so that people can come, you don’t necessarily have to bring your own chairs, they are already there, you can come and relax with your family and listen to some music. ” Smith said. “Around the property we have stores that you can go to and shop in advance. … All parking here is free, so we offer street parking and we also have four garage (covered) parking spaces. It’s free all day every day”.
You can also bring food from one of the local restaurants, but alcohol is strictly prohibited.
“There are plenty of restaurants if you want to come have dinner beforehand and then go to the plaza and enjoy the music,” Smith said. “We have Uncle Julio’s, Matchbox, The Lost Fox, City Tap, Sense of Thai, Nando’s (Peri-Peri), Bar Louie. … If you want to spend a whole evening at Alamo (Cinema Drafthouse), they serve food, so you can have dinner and watch a movie, then come to the plaza and enjoy the music. … It’s a great way to spend a quiet, relaxing night.”
