Neighborhood backyard concert - Veronneau

Douglas Park resident (and bike activist) Henry Dunbar has been presenting a series of backyard concerts. This season's performance schedule was led off by the sophisticated and sultry jazz stylings of DC-based ensemble Veronneau.

A lovely way to spend a happy spring evening along the Pike corridor.
