About the Shenandoah Coffeehouse Series

Since our start in 1994, our mission is to provide a relaxed and comfortable listening experience which brings together artists and communities to share in folk music and stories, the way it was done in olden days before radio and iPods. Our smoke and alcohol-free concerts are held monthly from October through April in our home base at the beautiful and historic Unitarian Universalist Church of Loudoun near Leesburg, Virginia. We feature acoustic acts from the singer/songwriter, bluegrass/old-time, world and traditional folk music fields.

We invite you to come enjoy a weekend with us, visiting the beautiful mountains and valleys west of Washington DC. Our area is home to many wonderful recreational opportunities and historic sites, quaint bed and breakfasts and country inns, and lots of things to do. The over 30 wineries here in the hills of western Loudoun County have become known as "DC's Napa Valley". Why not spend the weekend in the country? Follow the following links for more information:

Our Venue

Our monthly "unplugged" concerts are held at the historic sanctuary of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Loudoun located along rolling fields of Gleedsville Rd. just south of Leesburg. Leesburg is some 35 miles west of Washington DC near the Bull Run Mountain and Potomac River. Our concerts are held on the 2nd Saturday monthly. The 100-year old church is an intimate and pristine acoustic environment with warm wood floors and a cozy ambience, much like a house concert. Coffee and snacks are graciously provided by the church fellowship; donations are welcome.

Purchasing Tickets

You can purchase tickets at the door the night of the show, beginning when the doors open at 7:30, half an hour before showtime. Tickets are $15; most of the proceeds go to the artist - their salary for their life's work in music. You are invited to bring your favorite coffee mug to enjoy a hot beverage, and a cushion for your seat if you would like some additional comfort!
