River Farm presents its first-ever Music at the Manor, a beautiful sunset evening featuring live music by 2 dames and a stand-up dude.
Guests are encouraged to pack a blanket and picnic basket with their choice of food and beverage for an evening of crowd-pleasing tunes at sunset along the Potomac River.
The BYOB outdoor garden event – to be held Thursday, June 29, 5-7 p.m. – is free and open to the public. Registration is available through Eventbrite.
Mary Bowers, Lynne White and Scott Freeman are 2 dames and a stand-up dude. They play an array of cover songs that span several decades and multiple genres; from Bossa Nova and show tunes like "Girl from Ipanema" and "Fly Me to the Moon" to singer-songwriter and contemporaries like Sheryl Crow and the Indigo Girls, with some country and Americana tossed into the mix.
The dames’ two-part harmonies accompanied by acoustic guitar, keyboard and stand-up bass provide a unique and organic sound experience great for kicking back and listening or singing along.
