The Cowboy Junkies bring their, um, Texas-flavored swing to town Feb. 22. Speaking of jam rock, it's coming downtown in a big way in January. The Vault presents the Grateful Dead-inspired Splintered Sunlight Jan. 8. Juggling Suns take the stage Jan. 14, and on the 15th it's Blue Miracle . And on Jan. 22, open your ears to the sounds of Joe Gallant and Illuminati .
All Stars are a loose collective of some stellar players.
Imagine Catfish Hodge , Tom Principato , Pete Raguea , Brian Auger , and Ron Holloway all on one stage at one time. You can also see Redbone at the Birchmere Music Hall in Alexandria, Va., on Jan. 29. Another classic performer comes to the Birchmere next month. It's the legendary Doc Watson , and you can see him Jan. 17. For tickets to see the January All Stars, Leon Redbone, and Doc Watson, call TicketMaster.
