To Do List for the Weekend of 9/26

Are you ready for the weekend? Why did I even ask that?

Laura Tsaggaris record a live album at the Atlas this weekend.

Laura Tsaggaris records a live album at the Atlas this weekend.

Tonight is the weekly bluegrass night at The Argonaut. Hollertown will perform on the upstairs stage from 8pm to 11pm.

Friday night at the Atlas singer-songwriter Laura Tsaggaris  will perform and record what will become an album called Live at the Atlas. The focus is acoustic, and it will feature various new arrangements of 15+ songs from her previous full-length albums “Proof”, “Keep Talking”, and “EVERYMAN”.  The event will be produced by Grammy nominee Jamie Candiloro.  Tickets are more information are available here.

Saturday is the Barracks Row Festival. From 11am to 5pm 8th Street SE will host food ven

dors, performers and community organizations to celebrate our corner of DC. Not quite the super-fest that H Street has become but I’m sure after facing those crowds last weekend the more low-key event will be welcome. And H Street did not have ice carving with actual chain saw so there’s that. For a full list of performances check out the schedule here.

Save your energy and try to fit in a disco nap because Saturday night is Art All Night DC: Nuit Blanche. Inspired by  similar arts events in Europe, the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities presents an all-night arts party. This year the festival expands to H Street NE with events happening at a variety of spaces on the corridor including the soon to open Ben’s Chili Bowl and the Starburst Plaza intersection at Benning, H and Florida as well as usual venues such as the Atlas and Gallery O/H. A full list of events can be found here.

Sunday, close out the weekend with a free outdoor concert on  the lawn of the Hill Center. San Francisco’s  Front Country performs as part of the ongoing American Roots Music series. The concert begins at 4pm. Learn more about the band here.
