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!

American Authors

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.

Tysons Corner Summer Concerts | VA Music Photography

Music concerts are the next Plaza events this year. I posted recently about the dedication ceremony of the new Tysons Corner Center Plaza. Additionally, musicians will play on the Plaza! There have been a lot of events this summer around the new space. Great weather has blessed the guests too! The area is constantly changing seeing that it is a versatile space for activities, demonstrations, movies, and concerts. Every Friday until August 29, there is a concert held at the plaza. You particularly have to see the lineup and find out about getting entrance at the Tysons Corner Center website. At this time, the series of concerts is sponsored by Intelsat and 94.7 Fresh FMIntelsat’s new building serves as the backdrop for these performances, and additionally provides a nice setting for the stage.

The hosts for these concerts are some familiar personalities from 94.7 FM’s morning show. Before each band comes on, they get the crowd ready to hear some great music! So far, these bands have taken the stage: Black Alley, a local DC band opened the series after their win at the Battle with Bite. Next, Alex & Sierra, the singing duo who won the last season of X-Factor, Finally, the band Oh Honey singing their hit, “Be Okay” in an acoustic set.

Fortunately, there has been great cool evenings for these concerts, and tonight should be another great one. The elevated Plaza is a great place to watch the setting sun and listen to a concert. With the sound bouncing around the buildings, it lessens the harshness on the ears. Tonight violinist / dancer / performance artist Linsey Stirling will be performing. From her wildly popular online videos, it should be an entertaining show!
