We are looking forward to this month’s First Thursday by WTMD on June 6th. Last month’s First Thursday was a huge success! The weather was perfect and the bands delivered outstanding performances! David LaMason covered the May 2nd festival, and you can see the coverage here! June 6th will feature […]
I find myself pulling into a park I’ve never seen in a part of town I’ve rarely been to meet the women of Wicked Sycamore. A sunbright solid blue afternoon, the suddenly massive fields of Leakin Park – the honest-to-goodness largest continuous park in an urban setting in America (take […]
The festival season has arrived! Last month we kicked things off in Baltimore with the Charm City Bluegrass Festival and earlier this month, D.C. joined in with their annual Kingman Island Bluegrass Festival! The Kingman Island Bluegrass Festival took place the weekend of May 4th. The line-up consisted of amazing […]
WTMD’s First Thursday Festival kicked off the season on May 2 at Canton Waterfront Park. The rain held off and it turned out to be a wonderful pre-summer evening on the waterfront! Both stages provided music throughout the night and there was plenty of food! There was quite a turnout […]
Rain may have delayed the start time for the festival Friday evening but the night still went on successfully. Due to the later start time, Geraldine was unable to perform. The night kicked off with Fireside Collective and they did a great job warming things up! Town Mountain, Rob Ickes […]
We walked into Union Collective, its wide open spaces, expansive rafters, and industrial chic style inviting in the way few other places cannot hope to match. Charming, still, but not so dingy as the clubs we music fans so often inhabit; it does not hide in the darkness or paint […]
Sunday night at Pearl Street Warehouse was the place to be! A mostly all female lineup consisting of local musicians, delivered incredible covers of 80’s hits in support of ProjectHERA. ProjectHERA is a nonprofit that was created to empower female musicians of all ages and support their endeavors in the […]
The annual Charm City Bluegrass Festival is quickly approaching! This Festival kicks off a season of fantastic festivals and musical events that take place right here in Baltimore and we are quite excited! Now, the festival is in it’s 6th year, and we are looking forward to the return of […]
I was at The Anthem last Thursday night to see Jawbreaker. At the time, I hadn’t really given too much thought about who was opening. I always get to venues early for shows but I had no idea what to expect with this opening performance. From the minute War on […]
I sat down with Club 603’s owner, Scott Vieth, a few weeks ago to talk about his house shows in Baltimore. For those of you who do not know, Scott has been hosting intimate living room shows for the last 9 years. David LaMason, a fellow photographer and friend, introduced […]
It was another weekend of great Baltimore music at The Metro Gallery! I had the pleasure of catching Haint Blue’s record release party on Friday, March 15th. The night was an illustration of the great music that Baltimore has to offer! Haint Blue released their first EP as a band in […]
I happened upon Raindeer last fall opening for The Swirlies at Ottobar.  As with most opening bands, I knew very little about them going into the show; however, by the end of the night, I became a new fan. This was the case with my first experience with Raindeer. A […]
I went to the Metro Gallery in Baltimore this past Saturday night for Raindeer’s record release party. The band wasn’t scheduled to take the stage until 10:30pm. However, I always go to shows early because I have learned that opening performers can truly be amazing. Every band on the schedule […]
A sold out country crowd gathered on Saturday Night at The Anthem D.C. to witness Brothers Osborne play all their hits and more. However, the night became more about being home than anything else. With TJ and John Osborne growing up in Deale, Maryland, this was a show they were […]
Baltimore has a reputation for producing some amazing artists. Wye Oak, Beach House, and Dan Deacon are just a few of my favorite artists who call Baltimore their home. I have had the pleasure of seeing these artists in small clubs and venues around town at a time when they […]
It was a snowy night in Baltimore this past Saturday, January 12. However, despite the weather, I ventured out to the Ottobar to see one of my favorite local bands perform. Caligula Blushed brings the sounds of The Smiths to the stage and they have quite a following. A little […]
I remember the day vividly. It was June 29th and I was on my way to see a show at the 930 Club. I passed this amazingly colorful line of people – hundreds of people – obviously waiting in line for something big. Admittedly, I was completely unaware as to […]
Sadly, I was too young when The Smiths made it to the U.S. back in the 80’s. While I was never able to catch the real deal, I am saved by the best Smiths tribute band around. Caligula Blushed brings the best experience of seeing and hearing all my favorite […]
