We are excited to announce the first house concert at our new home/studio location in Annandale, the 2nd installment in the "Music Is Life" House Concert Series - this time featuring music from Emily Henry and Dave Ihmels.
We're excited to host this series in support of our friends in the local music community, and provide a comfortable, intimate setting for artists to showcase their talents and form a direct connection with fans old and new.
A portion of this event's proceeds will also benefit Innovation Station Music, our award-winning recording studio. As co-host Alissa Moore writes, "A champion of independent musicians from the DC area, Dave is giving his studio a state-of-the-art upgrade at its new location in Annandale, VA." When completed, Innovation Station Music will be an exciting new hub for local music, offering world-class music production facilities, business strategy for musicians, and events designed to bring the greater community into the music creation process. To receive more information on this project, please go to www.supportdavesstudio.com
We encourage you to purchase tickets in advance, as space is limited. Tickets start at $15 in advance, and will be $20 at the door. You can buy tickets at musicislife.bpt.me. Note: Concert location will be provided with ticket purchase - if you plan to buy at the door, please contact the host for the specific address.
Light snacks and refreshments will be served, however you are welcome to bring your own food and beverages.
We will open our doors for folks to socialize and meet the artists at 6:30pm. There will be two sets, one at 7:30 and one at 9:00pm.
About the Artists:
Emily Henry is a Virginia-native singer-songwriter who grew up listening to the country-folk and pop-rock music of her parents (both musicians themselves). Emily's own songs are somewhere in the middle - a blend of pop and folk that focuses on thoughtful, complex lyrics and catchy melodies. She has been writing her own songs since age 14 and performing them regularly in the DMV area since 2010. Emily released her debut EP, "Matchsticks", to a packed house at IOTA this May, followed by a performance at The Birchmere opening for Australian chart-toppers Boy & Bear. Her album is available on every major platform and can be found, and along with more information and upcoming dates at www.emilyhenrymusic.com.
Dave Ihmels is an experimental folk-rock singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Alexandria, VA. Dave's approach to songwriting is to put a sparkle around the mundane, as demonstrated in his critically-acclaimed sophomore album The Severe Angels, produced in collaboration with Dave Mallen and released in November 2015. Ihmels offers a unique brand of folk music that brings to life idiosyncratic characters, abstract dreams, and heady concepts within lush, sonic landscapes. He easily hops across musical styles to create songs that are both fun on the surface, and rewarding for the deeper dive. You can find more information about Dave at www.daveihmels.com.
