Title:After Work Concert Series
Date & Time:Fri Aug 10, 2018 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Location:Lyceum
201 S. Washington St.
Event Details:Join us in Old Town Alexandria each second Friday of the month for a concert sponsored by The Folklore Society of Greater Washington (FSGW) and The Office of Historic Alexandria. Locations will rotate between the Murray-Dick-Fawcett House (517 Prince Street), Lloyd House (220 North Washington Street), and The Lyceum, Alexandria’s History Museum (201 South Washington Street). The fourth concert, Friday, August 10 will be held at the Lyceum.

The August concert features two bands, Cat and the Fiddle and Maelstrom. Cat and the Fiddle (Joe & Cyd Shelby) have delighted crowds at the Maryland Renaissance Festival for years with their morris tunes, jigs, danse macabre, and pub songs. They brought a lively, colorful, and kid-friendly take on early music to the 2018 Midwinter Festival and to countless morris ales and East Coast renaissance fairs.

Maelstrom (Abraham Joyner-Meyers, Darrow Sherman, and Peri Leighty) are teen fiddle prodigies who weave new sounds from old traditions, playing Irish, Quebecois, klezmer, and original tunes -- sometimes all at once. Take the free trolley that runs every 15 minutes from King Street Metro station!
