A little more about Flo Anito / Classicall...y trained in voice, piano, and cello, Flo Anito began her singer/songwriter career at 16 when she got her hands on her first guitar. Already rewarded for her musicality with All-State recognition and roles in Summer-stock theatre, songwriting came naturally to this young talent who has quickly proven herself a prolific writer of jazzy pop the vein of Fiona Apple, Jewel, Ani Difranco, and Nellie McKay.
Since her recent graduation from Wesleyan University with a BA in Music, Flo has made Washington, DC her home. She has opened for Eli Matthson (America's Got Talent) and Emi Meyer at the National Cherry Blossom Festival, has played Celebrate Fairfax (headliners included Joan Jett, Blues Traveler, and OK GO), opened for Theresa Andersson, a Swedish musician featured in Rolling Stone, at DC9, and played with Rosi Golan at Bloombars. Flo heads the local chapter of Just Plain Folks, an international music networking organization and has performed and sold out of her debut CD in venues across New England and the Mid-Atlantic states. |

Coming up...
Toby Walker
May 12th at 7pm
What do you get when you combine powerhouse fingerstyle guitar work, yeoman songsmithing, a personal history steeped in Deep South Delta Blues, and an impish sense of humor? You get Little Toby Walker, without a doubt one of the finest acoustic blues musicians alive today. This outstanding musician won Best Performer in the Solo category in the prestigious International Blues Challenge in Memphis. From the opening bars of his high-energy Piedmont style, it's easy to see why: Toby is a true master of this American music idiom.
