Baltimore Old Time Events Calendar
Hey there! It's a glorious spring-like day here in Charm City and I'm writing this sitting in my backyard soaking in the rays of sunshine. Spring means two things to me - the return of baseball and, more relevant to this newsletter, the Baltimore Old Time Music Festival! We're just 40 days away and tickets are fuhlyinggg. We expect the Friday night concert to sell out and a bunch of workshops to fill up soon. So, don't put it off much longer if you plan to buy tickets! Held April 18-19 at the Baltimore Museum of Industry, it's shaping up to be the best one yet. We've released the full schedule HERE. We're still looking for a handful more volunteers HERE.
Family Passes are now available HERE for the festival on Saturday, April 19. Families with young children are invited to our free outdoor family morning Saturday 10:30am – 2:00pm where they can groove to a concert from The Canote Brothers, dance their tails off in our family-friendly square dance and participate in hands-on activities and more! These activities are free to attend for kids 12 & under and their caretakers. Please register for all who wish to attend. HERE
Old Time Jam Tuesday! I hope you can join me and Ken this Tuesday evening at the Green Room in Hampden for the Baltimore Old Time Jam. We've been having some rockin' jams lately. The slow jam starts at 7pm. The fast jam goes 8-10pm. It's always a fun time whether you come to play or grab a drink and some grub. More info HERE
I have TWO house concerts at my place this month. First up, I'm hosting Blue Ridge Gathering on Wednesday, March 19 and then Jocelyn Pettit & Ellen Gira on Thursday, March 27. More info HERE
Alright, back to replenishing my body of the Vitamin D it so lacks...
