2011 Lansdowne on the Potomac Summer Concert
Concerts will take place at the Lansdowne Amphitheater

Gonzo's Nose
Friday, July 8th
7PM - 9PM

A mainstay on the DC area music scene for years, Gonzo's Nose has carved a niche for themselves by combining solid musicianship with a repertoire of hundreds of cover songs from the early 80's up until songs that hit the radio just yesterday.  The band has developed an almost cult-like following, and when you see them play, you'll know why.

In accordance with ABC licensing guidelines, you must bring proof of identification if you plan on consuming alcohol (beer and wine only) during the concert.  This event is open to Lansdowne on the Potomac residents and their guests only.  Residents are not permitted to enter or exit the concert with open containters of alcohol.

Please also remember that no pets are permitted during the Amphitheater Summer Concert Series.
