SUMMARY:The Bob Band-A Bob Dylan Tribute
DESCRIPTION:Experience the music of Bob Dylan like never before as The Bob Band brings his legendary songs to The Strand\, in a moving and deeply authentic concert. \nThis Washington D.C. Quintet offers a richly musical journey through Dylan’s extraordinary catalog\, performing with authenticity\, reverence and a clear love for the music. \nRather than imitating Dylan\, the band brings decades of experience to arrangements that highlight the character and depth of his recordings across folk\, rock\, country\, blues\, and gospel. \nWith thoughtful storytelling and a rotating setlist that includes “like a Rolling Stone\, Tangled Up in Blue\, Mr. Tambourine Man\, and Make You Feel My Love”. \nThe Bob Band captures the sound and soul of one of the most influential artists of all time. It’s not imitation-it’s a celebration of the music that became it’s own genre. \nstrand.org

SUMMARY:A Medium Gallery Show with Linda Shields\, The Jersey Shore Medium
DESCRIPTION:At just eight years old\, Linda Shields discovered her gift\, which would later on turn into a lifelong career for herself. \nIt wasn’t until she was pushed into it that she discovered what it was that she’d be doing for the rest of her life. \nNow\, 54 years later\, the Jersey Shore Medium is touring around the country and continues to be surrounded by spirits in her day-to-day work. \nEleven years ago\, Shields launched her career into becoming the Jersey Shore Medium. \nIt all started in her early twenties when someone approached her with tarot cards. \nLittle did she know she would never see that person again; however\, she would end up needing those cards again someday. \nIt became public for Shields in the summer of 1990 when she received a phone call to do a reading. \nShields’ grandmother was also a psychic who taught her how to turn off and on her senses as well as understand them. \n“There has never been a time where I could not connect with someone\,” says Shields. “It’s the readings that when I can give closure or hope\, that’s what keeps me going.” \nShields is able to use the psychic senses of hearing (Clairaudience)\, tasting/smelling (Clairsentient)\, and physical feeling or being an Empath during a reading. \nShe was never afraid of her spirits due to the fact that she was always surrounded by them. The Jersey Shore Medium admits that she favors Clairaudience because it’s like having a personal dialogue in her head. \n“I want to stay where I am. I like being the Jersey Shore Medium. I just want in the years to come to have the health to keep doing what I’m doing. \nAs long as I have the energy and the blessings to do it\, I’ll do it as long as I can\,” Shields states. \nShields offers private medium readings\, medium gallery parties\, private tarot card readings\, lectures\, and fundraising events. \nIn addition\, the Jersey Shore native is also the published author of Angel Inspirations for Serenity and Love\, Crystal Power\, and 12\,000 Dreams Interpreted. \nstrand.org
