2015 Summer Concert Series – Tysons Corner Center

Music on the Plaza

Photos from the 2015 Summer Concert Series straight from the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center. In order to bring more people out to their community-building space outside of the mall, they started this series last year. Together with 94.7 Fresh FM, a great lineup of musicians brought everyone outside on Friday evenings.

Gavin DeGraw

Piano playing – songwriting singers are my favorite, and Gavin DeGraw is one of the best. He rocked the first crowd of this year’s Summer Concert Series. His performance was so good, they shot fireworks off of the parking garage to celebrate!

Black Alley

Black Alley won a spot in the 2015 Summer Concert Series through a performance contest held at the mall last year. Due to the amazing reception the crowd had for their music last year, they came back to repeat raves!

Andy Grammer

The first repeat performer in the Summer Concert Series was Andy Grammer. In like fashion, his vocals really soared over the Plaza to the cheerful crowd. Whereas last time was an acoustic set with him and a guitar, the brought a full band this year.

Legwarmers

The Legwarmers closed out the Friday concerts. During their performance, the crowd was given glow sticks to wave after the sun set. To illustrate the motion and light, I used a long exposure to blue the colors.

Play on the Plaza

Last Friday was another beautiful evening at Tysons Corner Center. On this occasion, the 94.7 Fresh Artists Concert Series welcomed Andy Grammer to the stage! He came and sang solo with just his guitar. Additionally he did some beat-boxing / mouth drumming thrown in. It highlighted the great reverb in the space between the large buildings around the Plaza.

If you listen to pop music radio Andy Grammer will have a familiar sound with his tracks getting a lot of airtime including, “Keep Your Head Up”, “Fine By Me”, and “Miss Me”. Even though it was just him on the stage with a guitar, his energetic sound filled up the space nicely. The connection with the crowd was easily felt with the nice introduction by Kelly Collis of 94.7 Fresh FM and a group of young fans. The audience also readily joined in with the very sing-able chorus of “Back Home”.

We have been so lucky the last few Fridays for this concert series! It was a perfect summer for Tysons Corner to open the Plaza to the public. So many have been able to enjoy the outdoor space and share their experience on social media, so I am sure that next summer’s series will have even more in the crowd! Thanks to Tysons Corner Center for giving me the opportunity to cover this series for them. It has been a lot of fun getting photos of the artists performing, and the crowd enjoying the music and the weather on these evenings.

Tonight is the last in the series, so you can still go and get your wristbands this morning to see Jacquie Lee perform. It looks like it will be another nice night to see an outdoor concert. Come out to hear the music, and come back to the blog to see the photos!
