On June 29, 2014, the summer concert series "Music at Arrowbrook Park" had its second concert for the 2014 season featuring Black 47. This band has been a long-time favorite of mine. Black 47 seems to be usually categorized as Irish rock, but truly, Black 47 has its own unique and distinct sound.
Black 47 celebrates its 25 years in 2014 and this will be their last year touring; they have played a lot of gigs over the years. Since I moved down to the D.C. area I haven't been able to see one of their shows in some time, so I was thrilled when I saw a show added in Herndon during their final tour.

The band was terrific (as they always are!) and everyone looked to have a good time.
After the concert lead singer/guitarist Larry Kirwan graciously signed autographs and took pictures with fans.
