Award-winning, world-jazz group VERONNEAU return to Lubber Run by popular demand!
Led by Quebecoise vocalist Lynn Veronneau, and UK guitarist Ken Avis, VERONNEAU have had 3 Top 10 charting albums and over a million Spotify streams of their version of La Mer. For this band it’s all about the song, as they mix original compositions with classics from the world of bossa nova, french chanson and swing, performed in English, Portuguese, French and Spanish.
The Arlington based band just returned from a month-long European tour, following the release of their Live at Blues Alley album, capturing a performance which the Washington Post described as “inspiring and joyful”. They were among the headliners at DC Jazz Festival and performed at this year's Vocal Jazz Summit....but, of course, VERONNEAU are most at-home performing at Lubber Run.

Since the construction of the first permanent stage in 1969, generations of Arlingtonians have enjoyed free summer cultural events at the sylvan venue nestled two blocks off Route 50, ranging from Encore Stage & Studio to bands like Raul Midón, Eddie from Ohio and superstar Ritchie Havens.
The Lubber Run Summer Concert series features free performances from a variety of genres including big band, blues, soul and orchestral music as well as cabaret to the Lubber Run Amphitheater. Working in partnership with the Lubber Run Amphitheater Foundation which funds four family-friendly shows at the end of the season, we bring the very best of DC metro area arts to the heart of Arlington.
