2018-08-24 20:00 - 23:00 (America/Halifax) | 49 West – The Back Room, 49 West St., Annapolis, MD, 21401, United States
Annapolis-based act Kings of Crownsville are a roots Rock band with a New Orleans flavor.
The brainchild of New Orleans-raised guitarist/singer/songwriter Steve Johnson, the Kings play a rollicking, entertaining set that stirs Americana, Blues, and Jazz
into their mix of Johnson’s witty original tunes as well as a few well-chosen covers with a hint of Louisiana spice.
Their signature horn section transports listeners to the streets of the Big Easy, while they also add precise three- and four-part harmonies to their musical gumbo.
Think Louis Armstrong meets Steely Dan.
The Kings of Crownsville features Johnson backed by Ed Justice on trumpet, flugelhorn and vocals; Jim Tavener on trombone, percussion, and vocals; Mike McCormick on keyboards and vocals; David Vermette on bass and vocals; and Rob Creath behind the drums.
“Homegrown Americana boogie blues and big band rockin’ swing jazz is a chunky description of the Kings … a robust, polished sound that makes for easy toe-tapping and dancing.”
Stephen Perraud. The Live Wire. June 2011

Talking Trash: Cleaning up Marine Debris Before it Reaches the Sea by Pamela Kellett
Abstract: A daily walk to work in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor inspired the invention of a hydro and solar powered machine that continuously cleans rivers during storm events. Today there are three water wheel powered trash interceptors working in three different watersheds to keep floating trash and debris from entering the Patapsco River. With the addition of googly eyes these machines have taken on personalities and are a social media sensation. Due to its unique design and effectiveness it has garnered many awards and international attention. It has been featured in National Geographic, Popular Science, and CNN and many other media outlets. A winner of the prestigious architectural “Highest honors for Excellence in Waterfront Design” award, the trashwheel is proving to be a successful interim solution for cities as they educate about the impacts of stormwater runoff, and improve trash collecting infrastructure.

About the Speaker: Pamela Kellett has worked as an Environmental Scientist for Clearwater Mills since its inception in 2007. She helps determine hydrologic flow and has travelled to Panama to evaluate the potential for implementing waterwheel technology in Panama City. She has a Masters of Science in Environmental Science and Policy from Johns Hopkins University and is married to the Trashwheel’s inventor and builder, John Kellett. Prior to working with Clearwater Mills she was captain of the schooner “Lady Maryland” and then taught a science based curriculum at a nature preschool in Pasadena Md. She was raised in Annapolis and vowed to never live in Anne Arundel County where she presently resides with her husband, 2 children, 1 dog, 1 cat and 8 chickens.

Hope to see you THIS Thursday, August 30th at 6:15pm, at 49 West!

And on Sept 27, Lori Gross will present at on Antarctic Citizen Science!

Cheers!
Tracy Gill and Andy Loftus
