Brian Lenair live in Southwest

Experience Brian Lenair live on July 24th

Brian Lenair, a contemporary jazz saxophonist and composer, will be performing at 400 E St SW in Southwest Washington, D.C. on July 24, 2026. Lenair’s musical style blends elements of smooth jazz, contemporary R&B, and gospel influences, often featuring melodic improvisation and sophisticated harmonic structures. He has released several albums receiving airplay on smooth jazz radio stations and has collaborated with notable artists within the genre.

The location, 400 E St SW, is home to The Anthem, a relatively new concert venue that opened in 2018. Developed by Events DC, the city’s official convention and sports authority, the building was constructed on a site previously occupied by a Department of Homeland Security building. The Anthem was designed with acoustics as a primary consideration and features adaptable configurations allowing for both seated and general admission events. It is intended to be a significant contributor to the revitalization of the Southwest Waterfront area of Washington D.C., which has undergone substantial development in recent years including residential buildings, restaurants and retail spaces. The venue is known for hosting a variety of musical acts across multiple genres.
