Performances

Acoustic Aubrey has been playing music in the central and northern Virginia area for 20 years. Aubrey plays a plethora of styles to include, rock, americana, jazz, R&B etc… He is adept to reading crowds and playing the perfect music for any venue. As a teacher Aubrey identifies the passion each student has for music and builds strictly off each students desire to understand music.

Summer and Eric have been involved in music their whole lives. Theater productions, marching band, children’s’ performer, national touring shows, local solo gigs….they had already had a full life of music before meeting. By chance, Summer transferred to Eric’s school and he taught her daughter the first year they came. A few years later they taught on the same team next door to each other, perfect for singing in the hallway in between classes. They would stay after school singing Jason Mraz and Ingrid Michaelson and Dave Matthews tunes, led a few holiday sing-a-longs and eventually Summer convinced Eric to go to an impromptu open mic. That led to their first gig and years later, they sing almost 100 shows a year all over Virginia, Maryland and DC. Like so many others they started out singing cover songs but have started writing and recording their own originals.
