International famed players who have performed and recorded with LMT include Charlie Byrd, Herb Ellis,Frank Foster,Brian Lynch, David “ Fathead “ Newman (Ray Charles tenor) and Jane Powell.

Black Like Cash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G_yRB575ns
Already a popular voice in the Baltimore/Washington Area before moving to Nashville, Pete and his band-the aptly named Peterbuilt-have opened for established stars, including Jack Ingram and Pat Green. Pete released his debut CD, Built to Last, in 2008 and made a splash with fans at the 2008 CMA Musical Festival. Growing up in Annapolis, Md., Pete enjoyed a variety of musical styles but developed a passion for country music because of the lyric-driven content of the songs. Its great to connect with an audience, but I am first and foremost a song writer, Pete says. I love to tell a great story through music. Pete signed with Dan Hodges Music, LLC in January 2011 and was with the company until 2016.

Songs: http://frankhogans.com/stay-song-by-frank-hogans.html
Frank Hogans is an award-winning* singer-songwriter hailing from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, who regularly plays venues in the Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia music scenes, as well as showcases in Nashville and New York City. A clever wordsmith and a seasoned and innovative guitarist, he has earned a loyal following eager to hear refreshingly intelligent lyrics and uniquely original melodies and music.
“Frank’s music is evocative of the pain and beauty the downright JOY of growing into wisdom. With an arsenal of dark and surprising chord voicings, out-of-the-box tunings, and a counter-intuitively powerfully fragile vocal delivery, Frank Hogans is one of the most beautiful writers in the Maryland area.”

Abstract: Mars has been extensively studied using spacecraft data, modeling, and laboratory studies over the last several decades. We have learned much about Mars, from its geology and habitability, its climate, and to its potential for life. This information has culminated in a series of missions to bring samples to Earth collected on Mars. At this time, there are eight operating orbiters and three rovers. The science resulting from these 21st century missions, combined with research here on Earth, expose a deeper understanding of the red planet . To be presented: the latest on the measurements detailing the interaction of the atmosphere with the solar wind and a new apparent role of martian dust storms. For the first time, seismic observations have measured Marsquakes, providing estimates of the size and composition of the planet’s core-through-crust layered structure. But much remains to be discovered as exemplified by the mystery of near-surface methane. And based on ongoing missions and especially on the sample collected already by the rover Perseverance, we have many more discoveries on the horizon.

The Shook/Russo 5tet has been performing together since 2005 in the mid-Atlantic region.

Be it through blues, swing, bebop, soul jazz, or more modern funk and groove, the group has developed an incredible and unique sound by merging the diverse backgrounds of each of these fine musicians into one voice. The result is a whirlwind of grooves, melodies, and diverse textures that are a true delight to hear. Collectively, the members of the Shook/Russo 5tet have performed extensively throughout the United States, as well as performed in Canada, Mexico, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean and at festivals such as the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, the Ottawa Jazz Festival, the Stan Getz Jazz Festival, the East Coast Jazz Festival, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, and the Telluride Jazz Festival, the Wall Street Jazz Festival and the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival to name a few. They currently have two CDs out on Summit Records, and will be releasing a new album later this year, featuring all new music by members of the band.
