Don't Miss: Ottmar Liebert At The Birchmere This Wednesday!

German-born guitarist Ottmar Liebert composes, performs and records music in a "nouveau flamenco" style, which mixes elements of flamenco with jazz, bossa nova, and other genres. He'll be at the Birchmere in Alexandria this Wednesday. Buy tickets at this link.

While there are many historic concert halls in the D.C. area, no other venue in town has been the site of more acclaimed live albums by scheduled musicians than The Birchmere. Located just six miles from downtown Washington, in Alexandria, The Birchmere isn't your average concert hall; while its size makes it suitable for large audiences, the hall is also filled with quaint tables for the many diners that come to catch dinner and a show. The spacious hall has become an ideal place to catch popular musicians, and a favorite among the performers themselves.

To give you a sampling of what to expect, here's Ottmar & his band Luna Negra performing one of my favorites 'Barcelona Nights.'

Reminder: Super Moon Tomorrow (Sat. May 5, 2012)

If the moon appears quite a bit larger tomorrow night, it's not your eyes, Jim Carrey pulling the moon closer, or the fact that you enjoyed Cinco De Mayo way too much. Tomorrow's moon is considered a 'Super Moon.'
