SOAR Presents District 97, featuring Special Guest John Wetton, October 8, Vienna, VA

**Meme Prog Mutation** · 07-25-2013

The Society of Art Rock (SOAR) is pleased to present District 97 (http://www.district97.net/) in concert with special guest John Wetton (http://www.johnwetton.co.uk/) at Jammin Java on October 8, 2013 at 8PM.

To fans of Progressive Rock, John Wetton (King Crimson, Asia, UK) needs no introduction. He has been regarded as one of the premier vocalists and songwriters at the forefront of the genre since the early 1970s. Continuing that tradition of forward thinking, John now teams up with District 97, one of the leading lights of the new generation of Prog Rock bands.

District 97 is undoubtedly the most musically adventurous Rock band to feature an American Idol Top 10 Female Finalist. With her fantastic voice, and looks to match, lead vocalist Leslie Hunt has captured the imagination of rock fans everywhere. Following a highly successful inaugural European tour, she and District 97 now embark on their most ambitious US tour to date. Their new album, Trouble With Machines, is laced with complex yet catchy vocal tunes such as "The Perfect Young Man", which features a guest vocal appearance by legendary Progressive Rock icon, John Wetton.

John will join District 97 at Jammin Java to perform this song in concert, along with a selection of work from his legendary tenure with King Crimson, much of it not performed live in forty years.

This all ages event will be held at:
Jammin Java
227 Maple Avenue, East
Vienna, VA 22180

Tuesday night -

for us.
JJ is a nice place for a show, so if you can make it out during the work week, I'd recommend attending this one.

Great, thanks! We're really looking forward to this tour in a big way, and especially our first trip to Jammin' Java.

Got my front row ticket! Jammin Java is a great venue. Have enjoyed seeing Phideaux, 3RDegree, Brave, Ephemeral Sun, Michael Manring etc. there in the past.
