Concert: 2:30 - 4 PM (open for general audience • No cover)
Guitar player, singer and composer Norman Blake (b. 1938) is easily recognized as one of the greatest influences on today's acoustic Americana, bluegrass, old-time country guitar playing. He is mostly celebrated for his virtuoso flatpicking, but his fingerpicking guitar is equally masterful. Norman has collaborated with Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Tony Rice, John Hartford and many others over his long career. But performing and recording his original songs and instrumentals plus his interpretation of traditional material is what has established him as one of the all-time guitar greats.
Armin Hadamer (The Poor Ellen Smith Band) has been a lifelong student of Norman Blake's guitar playing and music, also meeting and studying with Norman a few times in the past. Together with guitarist and mandolin player Tom McLaughlin (Big Howdy) he will demonstrate and breakdown some basic techniques of Norman's guitar playing. This workshop will be interesting and useful for all level of guitarists. Afterwards Armin and Tom will follow up with a concert performing a selection of Norman Blake's songs and tunes.

Led by acclaimed guitarist Rick Whitehead, this powerhouse jazz trio features John Previti on bass and Nick Ruggieri on drums — three master musicians with deep roots in the Washington, D.C. jazz community. Formed in 1994, shortly after the passing of legendary guitarist Danny Gatton, the trio quickly earned a reputation for their tight interplay and virtuosic performances. They’ve appeared at premier venues including Blues Alley, Bohemian Caverns, the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, and the Smithsonian Jazz Club.
Their first album, Live in Captivity, won the 1998 Washington Area Music Association (WAMA) Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album, followed by Live in Captivity, Again (2001) and So There We Were… (2006). Each member brings decades of experience: Whitehead’s lyrical guitar phrasing, Previti’s swinging power from years with Gatton and Charlie Byrd, and Ruggieri’s Berklee-honed rhythmic precision create a dynamic trio celebrated for both technical mastery and emotional depth.
<a href="https://bit.ly/4k8RHir" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">YouTube • Live @Hank Dietle's Tavern</a>Bruce Swaim is a longtime D.C.-area saxophonist, composer, and arranger with roots going back to the 1970s. After studying saxophone performance at UNC Greensboro and training with acclaimed saxophonist James Houlik, Bruce hit the ground running as a full-time musician.
Since moving to the D.C. area in 1981, he’s played with an incredible lineup of artists including Danny Gatton, Keter Betts, Rosemary Clooney, Martha Reeves, The Spinners, The Four Tops, The Temptations, and Houston Person, among many others.
Bruce has also built a strong reputation as a studio musician, recording across pop, jazz, and blues projects, along with film, TV, and commercial work. He’s a skilled composer and arranger as well, writing horn charts for both live bands and studio sessions.
You may have seen him on stages like Blues Alley, The Kennedy Center, Wolf Trap, Strathmore, or even The White House. A two-time Wammie Award winner for Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year, Bruce brings decades of experience and serious swing to every performance.

Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter,&nbsp;Original Book by P.G. Wodehouse &amp; Guy Bolton&nbsp;and Howard Lindsay &amp; Russel Crouse


New Book by Timothy Crouse &amp; John Weidman
Anything Goes (2022 Revision) is a vibrant, dance-heavy version of Cole Porter's classic musical about romance and mistaken identities aboard the S.S. American, following stowaway Billy Crocker's quest to win heiress Hope Harcourt from her stuffy fiancé, with help from singer Reno Sweeney and gangster "Moonface" Martin, all set to iconic songs like "You're the Top" and the title track, with the 2022 revision updating the book for modern audiences and boosting its dance numbers. 
This version of Anything Goes was adapted from the 1987 Broadway revival, originally produced by Lincoln Center Theater.
ANYTHING GOES is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC.<a href="https://www.concordtheatricals.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.concordtheatricals.com</a>
The 2022/2021 revival of Anything Goes is generally considered appropriate for ages 10+ and often rated PG, offering a fun, tap-heavy, and witty romantic comedy. While it contains mild adult humor, innuendo, and references to alcohol/smoking typical of the 1930s setting, it lacks heavy violence or explicit scenes
