Cigar Box String Band (concert)

The Cigar Box String Band (Carson Hudson Jr., Arden Clark, John Trindle, Darin Neal Durham, and Jim Holloway) is a Tidewater Virginia quintet that plays folk Americana from land and sea on both commercial and homemade instruments —banjo, fiddle, bones, flute, washboard, and, yes, cigar box guitar. Cosponsored by the Office of Historic Alexandria and FSGW, this is the June concert in the Alexandria After Work concert series held in the heart of Old Town Alexandria at 6 pm on the second Friday of each month. Take the free trolley that runs every 15 minutes from King Street Metro station! In the gardens of the historic Murray-Dick-Fawcett House, 517 Prince  Street, if the weather is good; at Lloyd House, 220 N. Washington Street, if it rains. $15 suggested donation; cash bar.
