The Sunspot concert series showcases musicians from the United States and around the globe, representing all styles of traditional and contemporary folk music.

Sunspot concerts feature musicians who often perform as part of larger groups in larger venues, who are working on developing an independent career after leaving another group or who are just beginning their careers. Each show is presented in an intimate setting that allows the performers and audiences to enjoy a close connection not possible in larger venues.

Sunspot concerts take place mainly in Old Town Alexandria, just across the Potomac River from Washington DC. Old Town offers several locations that are ideal for accoustic music performances hosting audiences from 70 to 300. Several of the buildings date from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, and lend their historic atmosphere to the the presentation of traditional music.
