YOU ARE INVITED - Bushmaster featuring Gary Brown LIVE at Crossroads Chantilly - Friday, Nov. 14, 2025 - 9:30pm till 1:am
Add this date to your calendar, invite your friends, and kick off the Holiday Season in style! Gary Brown returns to Crossroads (13891 Metrotech Dr, Chantilly, VA 20151) for an exciting night of FUNKY BLUES ROCK ORIGINAL MUSIC.
With a brand new stage, new professional sound equipment, and new team of sound engineers, the venue has upped their game to provide an even better experience. Complete with two new "smoke eaters" on either side of the stage and a plan to make the building completely smoke free by next year by installing a smokers lounge outside, the changes will help fans enjoy the music without any of the previous issues.
Gary is excited about this show, as it is his first since having spinal fusion surgery. His recovery is going even better than he had hoped, and is ready to perform and bring his own brand of infectious rhythms, groove, and lyrics to life with this performance.
PLEASE join us, for this fun event and let's make it memorable together!
"If you're looking for some straight ahead, smokin', funky vibes, turn to Gary Brown and his band, Bushmaster. He rocks, he rolls, he delivers some of that funked-up feedback and wah wah pedal like Hendrix. Nowhere To Stand, for example, begins with a Purple Haze-like guitar lick before opening into a slow-burning 12-bar blues that careens momentarily off in an unexpected direction then returns to the blues structure.

Bushmaster is here for a good time - even while offering up social commentary in its lyrics - and rides Brown's guitar licks as they usher in the fun..."

"...This man is drawing his inspiration from the streets, where unfairness and the constant struggle just to survive is a daily reality. But that’s where music comes in - down through the centuries music has always been a beacon of hope and light in dark times. It tells a story of what things are, music inspires and gives hope also. “Dancing in the Belly of the Beast” is a story well told. Totally real and relevant lyrics coupled with some impressive blues funk playing that you find impossible not tap your feet to..."
- Gerry Casey, Turn It Up!
"...His passion for guitar and the pursuit of a good tone has reached across a wide range of countries via the radio, earning him positive reviews. Although he is humble with compliments, his stage presence is the complete opposite bursting with emotion and energy. ..."
