The Women Powering My Addictions
BY DOUGLAS ROGERS
Visit Loudoun
Sometime last year I developed an incurable addiction. One weekday lunchtime I popped into a restaurant in a nondescript strip mall on Fort Evans Road in Leesburg. I happened to be driving past. It was called Asian Noodles House and a delightful host named Alena ushered me to a quiet corner table. I asked for a house specialty and she brought me Beef Brisket Pho, a Vietnamese bone broth. What can I say? A rich flavorful broth filled with chunks of juicy beef, a knot of rice noodles, sliced chili and scallions, all zested up with fresh sprigs of mint and a lime. I’ve been going to Asian Noodles House ever since and even have my friend Will addicted.
The genius behind the Pho in question is Thai-born female chef Patama Pantasen, a Leesburg resident who bought the restaurant, then named Xuan Saigon, with her husband Alberto, seven years ago.
“I was working as a server in Washington, DC. I was not a chef. The previous owner taught me some dishes and the rest I learned on YouTube,” Pantasen said.
God bless the Internet!
Pantasen changed the menu from strictly Vietnamese cuisine to a variety of Asian dishes (Thai drunken noodles; Japanese ramen), but for me the Pho is the star of the show. The secret, she told me, is the beef broth base. She boils the bones for five hours, fusing the juices of the meat with cinnamon,

cloves and spices.
“Some places use powder for Pho. Not me,” she said, “all is natural, fresh, homemade.”
I was thinking of Pantasen recently since it’s Women’s History Month. What other dynamic female Loudoun self-starters should we be celebrating this March?
Well, two Loudoun businesswomen are responsible for another addiction of mine: the early morning (7 a.m.) quad-shot latte I get several days a week at Hamilton Mercantile, a sublime country market, natural food store and coffee shop in downtown Hamilton.
“The Merc” (the name on their branded tees and mugs) is the business of Hamilton locals Meredith Brown and Abbie Whitehurst and it’s hyper-local, selling everything from Loudoun wine, beer, meat and produce to candles, lotions and soaps. It opens at 10
a.m. but noticing there was no coffee shop open early mornings in the area, they installed a window counter out back where female baristas Alyssa or Anna serve superb pourovers and espresso drinks from 7 a.m. I love the place and look forward to spring when us regulars get to sit on the red Adirondacks under trees in the serene back garden and watch traffic go by.
Of course there are countless other examples of Loudoun female self-starters. From Veronika Amaya’s Handmade by LMAC shop in Ashburn showcasing the arts and crafts of more than 25 local creators, (most of them women) to the unique teambuilding blacksmith experience at Lawless Forge in Sterling, which was founded by Chinese-born Yutao Zhang, Loudoun’s future is being forged by women.
Happy Women’s History Month!

Writer Nancy Cook, right, and Kate MacLeod, pose during their appearance at Hillsboro’s Old Stone School for an evening of pose and music.
BY KATIANA DAWN GetOutLoudoun.com
Last month’s “Eat, Drink, and be Literary” event in Hillsboro offered an evening of intellectual and emotional pondering.
Featuring Nancy Cook’s “The Art of Memory, Monuments-Memorials-Mementos,” the evening began with quiet conversation and an abundance of locally sourced hors d’oeuvres and wine, in the small town’s historic Old Stone School. Cook took her seat on stage while musician Kate MacLeod prepared her instruments to her right.
Then MacLeod elevated Cook’s readings with improvisational scores and traditional American fiddle songs. The two crafts merged together in wistful harmony, summoning the audience to join their journey of remembrance.
As the second annual Farwell Cottage Artist in Residence, Cook was able to spend time in Hillsboro and the surrounding area. The month-long experience allowed her to connect with the small town community. She discovered that it was a “place that has a soul,” and held many untold histories worth remembering.
Prior to committing to a career of writing, Cook practiced as a lawyer in service of low-income communities. A core of that training—to go after facts and evidence—has since proven vital to her writing.
Nancy Cook’s Commemoration of Memory
As a seeker and sharer, Cook founded the “Witness Project” writing workshops in Minneapolis, MN. Its mission is to allow “traditionally silenced voices to be heard and thereby serve as a catalyst for cross-cultural understanding.”
Cook’s experience of frequently moving led to her self-acknowledgement as an “outsider” or “nomad,” in any place she arrives. Through this Cook acquired empathy for all the places she goes, and stories that lie buried in those areas.
As a writer, Cook has often found herself focusing on themes of justice, truth, minority voices, natural elements, and consideration of who controls the narrative of historical events. By noting gaps in recorded history, instances when a voice was silenced, when significant details were excluded she finds hidden stories waiting to be told. Cook told her audience that stories are more difficult to unbury than bones. She works to dig them up through an eclectic array of fiction, essay, poetry, myth and prose.
Throughout the evening many different types of storytelling emerged. Narratives were created and dispelled, snapshots and panoramas introduced new perspectives, etymology was explored through a “definictionary essay,” and the graveyard, which “is never truly silent” spoke.
“The Art of Memory” consisted of 10 pieces of writing, some of which were read in full length and others that were shared as excerpts woven together.
Some pieces particularly highlighted her ability to capture a memory.
“Border Crossing,” a snapshot of a moment, depicted with finite detail, brought Hillsborough Border Guards into the picture. In the time following John Brown’s raid, a group hanging was assembled. She tells the story of a soldier who stands guard and he becomes immersed in the moment, a memory that it is remembered as
Draws Top Performers azz festival SweetJ
BY NORMAN K. STYER GetOutLoudoun.com
Entering its fourth year, Tracy Hamlin’s Sweet Jazz Festival is continuing its mission to introduce some of the genre’s best-known stars and up-and-coming performers to new audiences.
Planned April 11-12 at the Washington Dulles Airport Marriott, this year’s festival features 11 artists—from international acts to Loudoun-based musicians—with performances by Hamlin both nights.
In addition to showcasing top jazz artists, Hamlin said it is important to her that the festival has a significant charitable component, providing scholarships for young performers at the Catoctin School of Music and donations to community nonprofits. Hamlin takes a broad approach when creating the line up each year.
“Typically, I will go to the Billboard jazz charts and see who is in the top 20, and then I will look at who’s performing and where

SOME OF IT IS STRAIGHT AHEAD JAZZ, SOME OF IT IS SMOOTH JAZZ, AND THEN SOME OF IT IS MIXED IN WITH INSTRUMENTAL R&B AS WELL.
IT’S A GREAT VARIETY, AND IT’S SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY.”
"around the country. And I’m always reaching out to some of my favorite favorites, as well,” Hamlin said. “I just want to make sure that I have just a diverse lineup that has a little bit of something for everybody. Some of it is straight ahead jazz, some of it is smooth jazz, and then some of it is mixed in with instrumental R&B as well. It’s a great variety, and it’s something for everybody.”
There also in a challenge in keeping the lineup fresh and varied.
Karen Briggs, the violinist known as the Lady in Red, performed last year and is back by popular demand.
“She is such a dynamic performer that I had multiple requests for her to come back, and we have requests for others to come back, but I didn’t want to have the same lineup,” Hamlin said. “I’ll probably bring back one or two from last year, because people just enjoyed them so much.”
Briggs performed with Yanni for many years and then joined Diana Ross.
“She’s that amazing. Of all the violinists that I’ve worked with and who I know, she is by far my favorite. Her talent leaves me speechless, and it’s just unlike any other violinist I’ve ever heard or met.”
Another headliner is flutist Kim Scott, who released her sixth album, “Livin’ It Up,” Feb. 28. She spent the past year at the top of the jazz charts and was named the Smooth Jazz Network’s Artist of the Year.
Hamlin said it is significant that Scott also devotes her time as an educator.
“I love when I meet very talented people who are also wonderful human beings,” Hamlin said. “I’m mindful of that, because as the owner and promoter of this festival, I want to work with people that not only have something incredible to give my audience but are easy for me to work with as well.”
The festival brings international performers, including Oli Silk from London and Ilya Serov from Russia, as well as members of the local jazz com-
munity including saxophonist Zedric Teague, the Eric Byrd Trio and pianist Caleb Nei.
Last year was the first time the festival offered two nights of performances, with different lineups each night. This year, fans have caught on and most of the early ticket sales have been for the two-night combo package. VIP tickets sold out in February.
“I’m really excited, because when you start things out, I know what my vision is, I know what my mission is, but I just never know how it’s going to be received,” Hamlin said. “It’s kind of like when I record music. I know that I love it, but I don’t know that everybody else will. It’s just great to see that there’s a buzz about it, and people are talking about it. We already have people coming from eight or nine states, so I believe that’s going to expand as well.”
In addition to the fast-approaching jazz festival, Hamlin has a busy year ahead. She’s working to complete her seventh album, scheduled to be released this summer. That will be followed by a European tour this fall including performances in England, Amsterdam and Croatia.
As the festival and her own career flourish, Hamlin said that she remains focused on giving back to the community and providing opportunities for other artists.
“That’s very important to me, because pursuing my career in music not only allows me to pursue my passion, but it helped me to find my purpose, which is service and giving back,” Hamlin said. “I tell everybody music saved my life; music changed my life. And if it weren’t for this path, my future and my life, my whole path would have been completely different. It’s important for me to make sure that I’m giving back to the community, but also encouraging and inspiring and motivating, motivating up and coming students.”

On a recent Friday night at the CRAFT shop in downtown Leesburg, Nerys Apple leaned closer to the microphone in front of her Yamaha keyboard, her shadow cast over a fireplace stocked with burning candles, to address a small crowd gathered for her intimate performance.
“I always say when I do this song, the people that love you want you in their lives, so stick around,” she said before performing “The Tree Song.”
That close, conversational experience is the exact vibe the Leesburg Movement, the town’s volunteer Main Street committee, works to curate with its Listening Room concert series.
“It really is special, because it’s an intimate experience with the artist,” Chair Vanessa Borg said. “They can talk to the audience and have more interaction. The focus is on the music. It’s not like a brewery where the music is just kind of background noise. We’re actually getting to know the artist and their work.”
Up to 30 $15 tickets are available for the shows, which take place in downtown businesses. Last
year, the organization held six concerts and scheduled four this year. The remaining two, on March 15 and April 26, will take place at Move Leesburg and Goosecup, respectively.
So far, 200 performers or bands have applied to be part of the Listening Room Series, Borg said, some from as far away as New York, Boston, and California.
During her Feb. 14 performance, following singer-songwriter Caroline McQuaig, Apple played acoustic versions of what she described as “experimental dark pop.” Her music infuses electronic elements with her darker themed lyrics to tell stories.
“I’ve been told it has a musical theater-ish element to it,” she said.
Apple’s dreams provide her biggest source of inspiration. Her lyricism describes those dreams with both realistic vividness and a surreal bend. One of her unreleased songs, “Greenery (You),” describes a dream in which a woman she loves becomes completely unrecognizable over time while Apple tries to find a way to reconnect.
Apple played the song for the audience, explaining that she named the specific piano cadence after the person.
Both artists peppered details like these throughout the show, giving the crowd a behind the scenes look into their songwriting process.
Apple was born in England and lived everywhere from Japan to Panama before moving to Winchester. She began training in classical voice at age 12 but started writing her own compositions years earlier. From there, she studied vocal performance, music composition, and music production in college. Toward the end of her college journey, she got involved with the indie label Boneyard Records.
McQuaig, who described her music as singer-songwriter, theatrical and vibey, said she was attracted to the Listening Room gig because it seemed like a cool series.
She started in musical theater, and found agents in college when she was trying to get shows over the summer and prepare for her end-of-graduation showcase. She brought together a concert series called “Siren Songs,” where she played older songs she had written, and moved into teaching music and playing shows.
With Taylor Swift as an important influence McQuaig taps her theater background to create a character and world in each song.

She said she was particularly proud of the world she created in “Better Off Now,” an upcoming single she performed during the concert.
“It is about a super, particular moment in my life,” McQuaig said. “Just like dramatized, which most of my songs are, but it’s just this kind of smoky, mysterious, very downtown vibe. I love when I get to have that lounge singer mysterious-type thing happening.”
She also jammed out to a cover of “Teenage Dirtbag,” with her husband accompaning her vocals with guitar riffs ranging from pop-punk influences to what he called “singer songwriter vibes,” on other songs.
McQuaig and Apple sang Chappel Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” together, with Apple inviting the audience to join in.
The act of immersing the crowd into the music was one of Borg’s aims for the Listening Room series.
“That’s why I think these are really cool,” she said. She said pairing a wide range of genres with local talent brings a local flavor to the concert and creates an environment for people to meet their neighbors.
Borg said the first consideration for choosing venues was finding space big enough for the shows. She would love to develop a partnership with photographers or videographers to document the events.
The Leesburg Movement recently joined the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development’s 2025-26 Mobilizing Main Street Program. That two-year program provides a support framework for groups working to establish main street organizations.
Borg said state leaders were impressed that the Leesburg Movement had already launched events like the Listening Room.
“We’re a little bit ahead of the curve in some way that we do have that nonprofit status, and we have actually begun hosting things like the Listening Room Series and Mistletoe Market,” Borg said.

though it is a still image. The piece demonstrated the skill with which Cook is able to bring a memory into being so fully that the audience feels it could have been one of their own. The soldier’s life is made evident with the speed in which the end of the writing flies past—a single snapshot enveloped in quietude, with precise sounds breaking through, scents providing context, physical sensations demonstrating internal feelings, and long-lost thoughts swarm.
A work in which Cook used her own understanding and creativity to fill a historical gap, “John Brown’s Head of Hair,” combines fact and fiction to complete a story through reflection. Starting with an odd item discovered online, a supposedly real lock of John Brown’s hair, she explores how the truth can be known when sources jump from one event to the next. As the excerpt was read, the revelation that “history does not record if the head had hair,” reignites the audience’s disillusionment that history could be unbiased.
A poem personifies the noose used in Brown’s hanging. “Heritage” creates an urgency for the noose itself to be heard crying out for justice as an “unhappy participant in my country’s reckon-
ing with slavery.”
A final piece of note was crafted as a monologue as though in conversation with someone who takes no breaths. “Tobacco Traders Tales at The Antiques Roadshow,” takes two opposing views, one which is voiced loudly, ignorantly, and without consideration for those others over powers an internalized one. The piece highlights how often just views are driven to silence by louder ones. “How creatively we package cruelty, how cleverly war is sold,” she writes as she explores how the heroes of history are chosen.
The evening created an awareness that memory is not just an individual, private experience but a resource that plays a role in pursuing—or running away from—the truth in every level of community.

TOUR: LEESBURG, LOUDOUN, AND THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
As the nation gears up for the 250th anniversary of its independence, historian Rich Gillespie offers a leisurely two-hour history exploration of the events occurring in Leesburg and Loudoun during the Revolution.
In the 1770s, Loudoun was a new county, created by the House of Burgesses in 1757, and was what modern historians refer to as the “Southern Back Country.” West of the fall line, European settlers arrived here as much from Pennsylvania as from long-settled Tidewater Virginia.
The March 15 tour will both introduce you to the American Revolution and how it played locally against the backdrop of the historic landscape that remains from that time.
The tour, limited to 50 participants, begins at Thomas Balch Library at 10 a.m. Preregistration is required at 703-737-7195, email balchlib@leesburgva.gov or tinyurl.com/ TBLEvents.
