Working in partnership with the Lubber Run Amphitheater Foundation, we bring the very best of DC metro area arts to the heart of Arlington.

Carly Harvey

Saturday, June 6, 8:00 PM
Carly Harvey Sings Amy Winehouse

Carly Harvey is an award-winning Blues artist whose sound bridges the roots of Blues, Jazz, Soul, and Indigenous American music. A dynamic performer and compelling storyteller, Carly is also the originator of the “Native Scat”—an improvisational fusion of traditional Jazz scat singing with Indigenous American vocables that reflects her Afro-Indigenous heritage.
In 2025, Carly appeared on NBC’s The Voice, Season 28, earning national attention and praise from Team Bublé for her rich tone, emotional depth, and originality. Her performances on the show introduced new audiences to her unique blend of cultural expression and musical integrity, reinforcing her role as one of the most distinctive voices in modern Blues.
According to DC Music Review, “Carly is grace, confidence, originality, and the right amount of sexy swagger all at once. She commands the stage with her voice and presence and draws you in intensely—then ends each song with an infectious smile of pure gratitude that beams so brightly into the audience.”

Dogo du Togo.

Friday, June 12, 8:00 PM
Dogo du Togo & The Alagaa Beat Band

Emerging from Lomé, Togo , Dogo du Togo & The Alagaa Beat Band is a collective of top Togolese musicians led by Massama Dogo, aka Dogo du Togo, who are putting Togolese music on the map by blending psychedelic rock and afrobeat into a genre-defying sound Dogo calls the "Alagaa Beat."
Combining Togolese festive and ritual rhythms, hypnotic voodoo melodies, and lyrics that speak to a new generation of young Africans with a message that resonates globally, Dogo du Togo & The Alagaa Beat Band embodies the heart and soul of modern Togo in its music.
The Alagaa beat (Alagaa means trance in Ewe) and Dogo's melodies are anchored in Togo’s rich cultural history, based on traditional rhythms and unique pentatonic scales known as Mina or Mami, derived from the music of the local Vodún religion and traditions that permeate everyday life in Togo.
