Fort Reno Summer Concert Series Starts Next Week — UPDATE — Full Schedule Announced

fortrenoFree concerts at Fort Reno Park, near the American University campus, have been a staple of muggy DC summers for more than three decades.  Beginning next week, there will be a show each Monday and Thursday evening through the end of July at 7:15.  Fort Reno Park is near the AU-Tenleytown Metro.  Fort Reno shows are still embued with the spirit of the DC straight-edge punk scene, though a variety of local bands will play.  Dogs and kids are welcome; drugs and booze are not. Crowds can be large, with a wide range of ages represented, though most who come are teenagers who are very lucky to grow up in DC.

The full schedule has been anounced, with a few “TBA” slots.  Expect more news, and at least one or two show reviews, in the coming weeks.  More after the jump.  (more…)
