Juels Bland Concert

Takoma Park Community Center  

7500 Maple Avenue

Silver Spring native Juels Bland has honed his talents as a singer-songwriter and acoustic guitarist in clubs and venues across the East Coast, and he’ll be performing close to home in a free concert at the Takoma Park Community Center on June 14.

His music and lyrics evoke rich soulful tones, and he was drawn to music at an early age.

“I would just sing along to songs I liked when I was a kid,” he said. “I started to pay attention to music in 2006 when I learned to play guitar and write my own songs.”

After leaving a band called Trees Have Cars in 2011, Bland wrote more songs, recorded some demos, and played solo at gigs and open mics before forming another band called The Darkest Timeline. His second album “Something to Run From” was released in 2018. You can hear some of his music at juelsbland.com.

No tickets or reservations are required, and donations will be accepted. Limited parking is available at the Community Center’s police station parking lot, the adjoining Piney Branch Elementary School lot, or on neighboring streets

This concert is part of the Takoma Park Arts series organized by the City’s Arts and Humanities Division, which includes free concerts, theater, dance, film screenings and art exhibitions at the Takoma Park Community Center.
