My date to play at The Urban Winery, 2315 Stewart Avenue, in Silver Spring, Md., has moved to Wednesday, August 14, 7 to 9 p.m. For all of you who radically rearanged your plans to be there on the earlier date, sorry. But I hope August 14 works for you now.
I will be joined by Ira Gitlin, a stalwart in the Washington-area roots music scene for many years. He’ll bring his banjo and guitar to complement me on voice and guitar. As the Urban Winery calendar notes, we will play “a vibrant blend of new and well-worn jazz, folk, country, bluegrass, blues and American Songbook classics.”
For a taste of some of the music I might play that night, go to www.weintraubmusic.com to find links to my recently released album on your preferred music streaming platform.
If you haven’t been there, Urban Winery is a cozy, tucked-away place that serves more than 30 wines produced on-site as well as a selection of other hand-crafted wines, beers, and spirits produced in the state of Maryland. Their international wine selection represents other small producers from around the globe and features a wide variety of grape expressions for those who truly wish to explore the whole wide world of wine. And, yes, they do have a a light and tasty food menu to go along with your beverages.
Reservations are not nececssary. Just come when you can — preferably early to get the full experience and, preferably, with at least 20 of your closest friends. There is no cover charge, but I’m not above putting out a tip jar.

Reminder that on August 24 at Mr. Henry’s on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.,, Jon Ozment (piano) and Mark Saltman (bass) will be with me, and we will play a broad mix of Great American Songbook, blues, pop and folk pieces.
You can make a reservation through the Mr. Henry’s ticketing app by clicking here. Tickets are $15 per person (plus service charge through the app), and Mr. H will ask that you make food or drink purchases of at least that amount, too.
The music will start at 8 p.m., but you can get there earlier and order food and such. Note that if, on the day of the show, you haven’t made a reservation, you can just call the restaurant at (202) 546-8412, and they’ll let you know if there’s room. Don’t worry. We will do what we can to fit you in (without offending the fire marshall).
Hope to see you on August 8 and/or August 24. Anyone who comes to both gets a three free rounds of ice water.
