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 & Trey Hensley delivered stellar sets, and Jeff Austin Band closed out the evening. Here is a look at the Friday night line-up at Charm City Bluegrass Festival 2019.
Fireside Collective
Town Mountain
Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley
Jeff Austin Band
On Saturday, there was plenty of sunshine and plenty of wind! However, despite the wind, the day was beautiful and the music was fantastic. The artists performed continuously throughout the day on both main stages, as well as, the tent stage. Here’s a look back at the great musicians who performed Saturday, April 27th for the 7th annual Charm City Bluegrass Festival!
Wicked Sycamore
This trio from Baltimore kicked off the day with an outstanding set of music!
Maybe April
The Nashville duo brought along two additional band members to perform with them for their set at Charm City Bluegrass. The two ladies harmonized perfectly. A highlight of their set included a cover of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me”.
Jon Stickley Trio
The Jon Stickley Trio pulled in the crowd with their instrumental set.
Ultrafaux
Charm City Junction
Baltimore’s Charm City Junction delivered the perfect midday set! Their blend of strings, banjo, and accordion are delightful!

Gangstagrass packed the Tent Stage on Saturday. It was evident that a lot of people were there to check them out! Their positive lyrics and “alternative” version of Bluegrass was very inspiring!
