The Fort Reno summer music series is not just a DC institution, but an East Coast institution. It’s importance to DC music culture and contribution to DC’s wider culture is significant and should be treated as such. Despite this, there is no archive of Fort Reno schedules, let alone additional multimedia content. I intend to create this archive, starting with me hunting down the actual schedules and posting them here. Later efforts will include making a nice Web site and including content that is more than just the listings. If you have information you want to contribute, leave a comment.
