“If you came to our 3rd Bloom last summer, you’ll recall how the Makepeace Brothers (They are brothers, and their last name is Makepeace) brought the house down and lifted everyone up with an unclassifiable eclectic mix of bluegrass, jazz Brazilian, African world rhythms, and Celtic, their sounds are as worldly as their messages.”
Whether playing for thousands of Jason Mraz’ fans during last spring’s “Music Magic and Make Peace” Tour or performing an intimate party in Toronto, Canada, this acoustic trio rocks the house. www.myspace.com/makepeacebrothers. SHOW STARTS AT 9:00pm”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
