If you are thinking you missed this month’s First Thursday Festival… don’t worry, you didn’t! July’s First Thursday Festival will be held this upcoming Thursday on July 11th since last week’s date fell on the 4th of July!

Here is what you can expect to enjoy at July’s edition of WTMD’s First Thursdays in Canton Waterfront Park!

Black Pumas

According to ATO Record’s website, the Black Pumas are “one of the year’s most anticipated projects. Described as “Wu-Tang Clan meets James Brown” by KCRW, Black Pumas were the winner of Best New Band at the 2019 Austin Music Awards.” So, we are very excited to check this artist duo out this Thursday! Check out their debut single, “Black Moon Rising”. We think you’ll enjoy it!

Super City

This Baltimore local band will definitely make waves this Thursday! You’re not going to want to miss this performance.

Soccer Mommy

Soccer Mommy is the solo project of indie rock musician from Nashville, Sophie Allison. Some of you may have caught Soccer Mommy last summer when she opened for Paramore and Foster the People at Merriweather Post Pavilion.

Van Hunt

Van Hunt has been creating music since 2003. He has opened for such acts as Coldplay, Mary J. Blige, and Dave Matthews Band. Van Hunt just re-issued his first record, TRIM, in celebration of it’s 15 year anniversary.

Los Coast

This 5 piece band from Austin, Texas will get the show started this Thursday! Be sure to get there early to check them out!

Old Eastern

Old Eastern is a hard hitting, gritty, whisky-rock band with a stripped down style and an ear for the 90s. This Baltimore band will be sure to start the night off right!


As always, First Thursday Festival is free! Come early, set up your blankets and chairs and enjoy a night of music on the waterfront! For more information, check out WTMD’s website!
