Danah Denice & Anthony Frijia
2024-11-10 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Halifax) | MD
Anthony’s Bio:
Anthony Frijia has mastered the art of creating live shows that feel more like intimate conversations than performances.
Recently voted “Baltimore’s Best Local Artist” in the Baltimore Reader’s Poll, he knows it’s these intimate conversations to which he owes all of his success as an artist.
Fusing folk, blues, and country influences, Frijia’s lyrically-driven songwriting has captivated audiences in the Mid-Atlantic, and across the country as a touring artist, drawing comparisons to Bob Dylan, Tyler Childers, and John Mayer. His knack for storytelling and a great lyric have never been more evident than on his most-recent studio release, “The Artifacts of Letting Go”, an 11-track Nomadic Americana record streaming everywhere and now available on vinyl.
Mine:
Danah Denice (she/they) is a 27 year-old singer-songwriter from Stevensville, MD. With a classical background in piano, and a folk background in guitar, she’s been compared to artists such as Carole King, Fiona Apple, and Joni Mitchell. Her raw and powerful vocal delivery, coupled with her pensive and heartfelt lyricism, has built her a loyal following in the greater Annapolis, Eastern Shore, and Baltimore areas.
She’s collaborated with numerous artists in the DMV—both live and in studio, as a session musician + writer. Her first solo EP, “Light From a Dark Room” was released on 2/2/24, and she sold out both nights of her record release show in Annapolis to commemorate the release. The EP debuted at #7 (most downloaded) and #13 (most played) on the NACC’s College Radio Charts, and debuted on the AMA Americana Charts at #156. The music video for her single, “To Say Goodbye” has already accrued 65k views on YouTube — and the EP is spinning on over 60 radio stations (and counting) across the US.
She is also one of the founders of The Songbird Collective — an Annapolis-based music and arts collective, that focuses on creating community amongst women and non-binary musicians, vendors, and visual artists — including a monthly songwriter showcase right here at 49 West. Their annual Songbird Festival had nearly 1000 attendees this past April. In June of 2024, the Collective officially gained nonprofit status thru being absorbed by AMFM: The Annapolis Musicians Fund for Musicians.

ABOUT LEVI:
Website: levistephens.com/music
Videos: https://www.youtube.com/@levistephensdotcom/videos
“Elements of the American music press have labeled Washington DC-based singer-songwriter Levi Stephens a cross between John Legend and John Mayer Stephens possesses a similar songwriting strength, a natural instinct for soul, and an expressive voice …However, it’s not that Levi has been influenced directly by those two artists, rather it’s all three who have borrowed from the classic blues, soul, and RnB artists who have gone before them. ”
Australianmusician.com
In the true spirit of an indie artist, Levi Stephens is taking listeners to his own carefully crafted happy place by tackling love, life, and everything in between with his always relatable and intelligent spin.
Discovering Levi Stephens’s music is like enjoying a surprisingly great meal at the local cafe you passed a thousand times before finally deciding to stop in. You thought you knew what you were getting into, but this is something more, something different. Its a refreshing pleasant surprise that an artist in today’s single-driven Industry chooses to follow in the tradition of those classic singer-songwriters who came before by creating whole-themed albums. His debut album, This Way goes far beyond the confines of R&B. It seamlessly melds a variety of genres, from soul to rock to folk while always remaining honest, clever, and conversational.
Levis’s affinity for singing can be attributed to growing up in the Washington, D.C. area in a home he remembers being filled with music. My father was a big music head. We grew up listening to all kinds of really good music. Music was bigger than TV. Like many artists, his musical roots began in church where Levi sang and played the piano. Outside of the church, young Levi was exposed to artists like Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye, and Donny Hathaway. In addition to those soul legends, The Beatles, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Jimi Hendrix, and Prince all made their mark on Levis’s musical style and led him to the guitar which was the final piece needed to create his sound.
Levis’s ability to incorporate multiple influences into his music can also be attributed to his role as a producer. Levi has written and produced songs on 702s 2003 album Star, (Places and Certified), Raheem Devaughns 2005 album, The Love Experience (Believe),Stones (Angie). Rich Girl (Rich Girl and Do What You Gotta Do), Chuck Brown’s 2014 Beautiful Life (Beautiful Life feat. Wale), and the Fat Albert Movie Soundtrack (Come on and Join the Gang).
With each song he writes, Levis’s goal is timelessness. I feel like that kind of music will always have staying power no matter what changes around it he says. His songs explore a variety of relevant subjects while including the elements that always stand the test of time; musicianship, strong lyrics, and shared experiences. This line of thought is even reflected in the cover songs that Levi chooses to perform.

Mitch Woods with The Dave Chappell Band
2024-11-22 19:30 - 22:30 (America/Halifax) | MD
Mitch Woods and His Rocket 88s have been the torchbearers of a great American blues musical heritage, not for two years but two decades.
Taking their inspiration from the great jump n’ boogie outfits of the late 40s and early 50s, they breathe fresh life into the music that gave birth to rock n’ roll. Woods styled his group after the jumpin’ n’ jivin’, shoutin’ n’ honkin’, pumpin’ n’ poundin’ bands of Louis Jordan, Wynonie Harris, Joe and Jimmy Liggins, Amos Milburn, and Roy Milton. Adding a healthy dose of New Orleans rhythm and blues, piledrivin’ piano, and some of his own contemporary playful lyrics, Woods and His Rocket 88s forge their own brand of music they call “rock-a-boogie.”

Jim Patton And Sherry Brokus
2024-11-29 20:00 - 22:00 (America/Halifax) | MD
Please call for reservations at 410-626-9796.
Patton met Brokus at a bar in Arnold, MD, when she approached him on a break and asked if she could sing a song with his band. Despite strict rules against strangers sitting in, Patton agreed she could sing Neil Young’s “Cowgirl in the Sand” with them. She and Patton have sung together ever since. They listened to a lot of Richard & Linda Thompson, the Byrds, the Airplane, the Everly Brothers, and Emmy Lou Harris singing with Bob Dylan when they started, but from the beginning they developed their own style.
Patton cites 20th century American fiction (“from Fitzgerald and Hemingway and Faulkner to Kerouac and Salinger and Raymond Chandler”) and the various lives of the friends he grew up (“I knew doctors and lawyers and waitresses and teachers and water rats and gravediggers and the guy who drove the truck that emptied the port-o-pots all over the state”) as the main source of his lyrical inspiration.
Musically, Patton says he learned to play acoustic guitar playing Bob Dylan and Neil Young songs, and electric in a band playing Rolling Stones songs, and “that was pretty much it for covers”
