That's great! Are they making a living doing this or do they have day jobs?

The others may not, but Josh does. Please pardon the vertical video, but in this case it was the only way to capture the entire keyboard. We'll be headed out to the Ashland Cafe to see him (again) on Sept. 21st. You'll need to book at least a week in advance. Get there around 6:30. Get dinner. Enjoy the show. They normally do three sets.

The Seldom Scene had day jobs, as I recall. It didn't seem to take away from their music.

Here in Baltimore, among many bands, "The Stone Hill Allstars" stands above many for their original music. This CD is one I really like.

Also....while I'm thinking about it, Germano's in Little Italy deserves a LOT of credit for booking live music upstairs. Scroll through the months.
