Adam Lambert, Erin Willett, Scars on 45 & Junior Doctor Rock Inaugural 94.7 Fresh FM 'Freshtival'!

NORTHWEST -- An unseasonably warm summer sun failed to deter hundreds of D.C. music lovers from filling the lush outdoor lawn outside of Gaylord National Resort, as 94.7 Fresh FM celebrated the inaugural launch of its summer ‘FRESHtival’ concert series.

The afternoon and evening performance line-up was as diverse as it was engaging to the family-friendly crowd, with English indie rock band Scars on 45 and Florida-based pop rockers Junior Doctor serving as opening acts.

The ‘DMV’ then showed its own musical roots with Gaithersburg, MD hometown girl Erin Willett taking the stage. As she cycled through many of the songs that earned her a semifinalist spot during the second season of ‘The Voice’ on NBC, the mounting applause from the crowd demonstrated that she has a solid fan base nearby.

Nevertheless, it was Adam Lambert’s headlining set that truly had FRESHtival-goers cheering. No stranger to D.C., Lambert enthusiastically performed a bevy of his hits to screaming fans of all ages -- some of whom brought posters proclaiming their love for the season 8 second place winner of ‘American Idol’, while others simply shouted their support.

All throughout the event, all of 94.7’s on-air radio hosts, including Tommy McFLY, Kelly Collis, Kristie McIntyre, Darik Kristofer, and Taylor Shay, could be found mingling about the crowd, as they passed out t-shirts and free samples of everything from Pinkberry frozen yogurt to bags of popchips!.
