Reston, VA— Reston Concerts on the Town, the weekly summer concert series at Reston Town Center, will kick off its summer season on June 1.

The series features talented local and national acts. This year’s line-up features a diverse array of music including boogie-woogie blues; swing; jazz; Latin fusion; Motown; zydeco; and West African rhythms.
