Some of the best music to come from the Old Line State.

A sample of Maryland music venues

Press Black

Press Black’s combination of hardcore punk and heavy metal is a welcome relief if you’re tired of fake punk bands like Fall Out Boy and All American Rejects.

Jordan Page

A musician with a message. Jordan Page’s music is a soul-stirring call for peace and justice. Ron Paul actually got him to play at his Revolution March in DC this past summer!

Jayme Ploff

Jayme Ploff originally made a name for herself singing jazz standards around the Eastern Shore, but she also sings popular songs and her own orignal compositions. This girl has an incredible voice!

Anne Watts/ Boister

One of the most innovative and exciting bands EVER! Try to imagine Tom Waits, Kurt Weill, and Sun Ra getting drunk together and you’ll get Boister.

Chuck Brown

A local legend! Chuck Brown is credited as being the godfather of DC’s go-go music scene. But he’s also a great jazz musician who has collaborated with Eva Cassidy.
