Mackenzie's Tunes & Tonics

Sunny@Midnight (Jeff Smith and Sherry Stewart) return to Mackenzie's Tunes and Tonics (3950&nbsp;University Dr. in downtown Fairfax) with their super-sized quintet this Saturday May 9th at 8 pm. Jeff and Sherry will be joined by Ron Goad (percussion), John Werntz (bass), and Marcy Cochran (fiddle) for the no cover concert.
Jeff Smith is a musical raconteur whose poetic lyrics paint common experiences and filtered memories with a tender or playful brush. Singing in a honey-drenched Appalachian drawl, multi-instrumentalist Smith lays down a brew of what he calls a funky kind of country blues folk pop rock stomp.
Sherry Stewart writes songs about people, places, and things that have left an impression on her. Themes often evoke nature and leave the listener with a sense of longing only heightened by her angelic voice and vocal harmonies. She accompanies herself on mandolin, guitar and flute whether she is playing solo or with others.
For more information regarding Jeff Smith's musical endeavors see www.humanwilderness.com.
Mackenzie's Tunes and Tonics is a locally owned restaurant/bar that specializes in craft cocktails. For details about Mackenzie's see www.mackenzies.com

Celebrating America's 250th Birthday: Let Freedom Ring

The Falls Church Episcopal

As a musical prelude to our country 250th
anniversary, we present a celebration of the people, stories, and songs that give voice to the American spirit and our unique and varied musical identity.
The program begins with the traditions of Indigenous peoples and continues through the hymns of early settlers and the spirituals born from slavery, music that reflects both struggle and hope. As America grew, immigrant cultures enriched its musical landscape, leading to songs of unity and resilience from the Civil War through World Wars I and II. The journey continues to Broadway, where American stories and aspirations came vividly to life on stage.

The concert concludes with Randall Thompson’s The Testament of Freedom, a powerful musical affirmation of liberty and the enduring ideals that continue to define America and remind us of music's ability to bring people together.
