Celebrating forty-one years of making music! The Folk Club is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to the appreciation of music and the preservation of folk traditions. Each Tuesday we host an open mic and/or special monthly events, including concerts and member showcases. Come join us any Tuesday. Whether you choose to listen, perform or both, you’ll find the Folk Club to be a friendly and enjoyable experience you’ll want to repeat. All levels of performers are welcome, from 3-chord beginners to seasoned pro’s and we encourage newbies by reserving slots on the board for first-timers during our regular open-mics!
Every Tuesday at 7:00 pm, Amphora Diner Deluxe, 1151 Elden St, Herndon, Virginia 20170

Dan Grove
Dan Grove plays guitar some, sings when necessary, and occasionally commits songwriting. He wishes the Potomac had coral reefs, and hopes all your dreams are coming true.
That’s the elevator speech, but here’s more: Dan’s a native Washingtonian, born in DC and raised in Arlington, where he went to Wakefield High School. He got a degree in philosophy, but doesn’t recommend it. He would have been a marine biologist if he didn’t sunburn easily – he loves snorkeling on reefs at night. He volunteered on marine biology research projects, including a dolphin language study in Hawaii. He’s been a bartender, software developer, telecom manager, theater sound designer, and corporate multimedia lead, and had a small recording studio. He had some fun working on the Smithsonian’s Electric Guitar, Blue Guitars, Piano, and Synthesizer projects, and got to play one of their Stradivarius violins. He lives in Reston, was on the board of the Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art for 12 years, did the Reston Triathlon 26 times, and is on the board of the Reston Runners. He was on the Folk Club board and edited the newsletter for several years, and has been coordinating the showcase articles for three decades…
