Please join us for our October 2025 Acoustic Cafe. Our featured performers will be Valeria Stewart and Kevin Dudley, who have performed multiple times at the Acoustic Café as two-thirds of the trio Crooked Sparrow.
Valeria has a solo latin album JUST out (Sept 5th) called Raíces|Roots which was co-produced with Kevin Dudley. Argentine-born Stewart (née Rodriguez-Rozic) embraces her roots with the Porteño accent that permeates the seven-song record. The all-Spanish album, featuring award-winning original songs plus two covers, from Cuba and Argentina, respectively, is close to her heart.
Rooted in Texas but thoroughly integrated into the Washington, D.C. music scene, Kevin is a multi-instrumentalist and heartfelt singer-songwriter. Delivered with a wry sense of humor and a rich, dusty baritone, Kevin sings about death, diners, affairs of the heart, and everything else that touches the human experience. Kevin's songs are infused with elements of blues and western swing, hinting at influences from Merle Haggard to Robert Johnson. By fan request, Kevin is currently fundraising to record a collection of songs he has written in the last 10 years.
In the opening set, we'll host The Turnips of Doom, another repeat performer at the Café. The Turnips are a contemporary music group playing and interpreting rock and roll from the 1960’s onward. They include Miles Townes on bass, Truett Reed on guitar, and Don Zientara on guitar, along with all singing. They have played both electric and acoustic all round town.
Admission is free; but donations are welcome.
