Local favorite, Shannon Bielski and Moonlight Drive will kick-off this series. Be sure to stay for DCBU’s Old School Open Mic directly after the concert to see a sample of DC’s up-and-comming bluegrass talent.
On the 3rd Sunday of each month from 5-7 pm, the DC Bluegrass Union will host our Old School Open Mic (OSOM) at Lucketts Community Center, 42361 Lucketts Road, Leesburg, VA.
One important aspect of DCBU’s mission is to promote music education. We offer an instructor directory so students can locate teachers in their local area for in-person instruction. Additionally, since so many great musicians teach online classes, we’re now posting information for instructors wherever they are located. To sign-up as an instructor fill out the form by selecting the link below. Your submission will be reviewed and added to our directory within a few days.
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
