ABOUT THE 19TH STREET BAND:
Website: 19thstreetband.com
“Trilling strings, driving rhythms and upbeat harmonies” – RnR
“Album from Irish-Americana group is a gem in the making” – Songlines
“They manage to give us a sample of the joy that cascades from their stage shows.” – Irish Music Magazine
Characterized by high energy and strong vocal harmonies, The 19th Street Band brings together a constellation of Americana, country, and rock, with a breath of fresh air. They ignite an audience with their passion for music. Caolaidhe (pronounced Cally) Davis (guitar/harmonica/vocalist) along with fiddle/mandolin/vocalist/partner-in-crime, Meghan Davis, create a joy-filled chemistry that no crowd can resist. Add to the mix the very talented Greg Hardin (bass/vocals) & Patty Dougherty (drums), and this band will have everyone enthralled. Bridging the musical roots from Ireland to the Appalachian, their eclectic gypsy-rock spirit literally leaps from the stage and engages every
crowd.
The band’s first two albums, The Things That Matter and Diamond in the Rough also received airplay on BBC Radio and multiple stations throughout Europe, the UK, Canada, and the US. Their music has been featured on Relix Magazines Artist Sampler, was chosen as Album of the Month on West Norfolk Radio, and was a Finalist for the Washington DC Area Music Awards (The Wammies). The band does an annual tour of Europe/the UK where they have performed live on BBC Radio Ulster.

Shook/ Russo 4 Tet
2023-12-28 20:00 - 22:30 (America/Halifax) | 49 West – The Back Room, 49 West St., Annapolis, MD, 21401, United States
Amy Shook – acoustic bass
Pat Shook – tenor saxophone
Frank Russo – drums
Jonathan Epley – guitar
The Shook/Russo 4tet has been performing together since 2005 in the mid-Atlantic region. Their focus has always been to compose and perform their own original music within the jazz idiom, honoring the masters by carrying on the tradition. 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.

Journos
2023-12-29 19:00 - 22:00 (America/Halifax)
Reservations are strongly encouraged, so call 410-626-9796 today and book your table.
Enter Journos: a charismatic and compelling duo made up of award-winning journalist and lyricist Bryan Russo and workhorse punk-rocker Ryan Abbott, whose musical range and bold message is as assertive as it is disruptive.
Bryan Russo has spent close to 20 years working diligently as a singer/songwriter in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US sharing the stage with more than 30 national recording artists. Described to have the bluesy depth of a “young Tom Waits or Billy Joel” by Grammy Nominated producer David Ivory, his previous independent releases received high praise from critics and listeners, including Pennsyltucky (2018), which was named as a Top 5 finalist in the 2019 Great American Song Contest. Known for his biting lyrics, Russo blends profound storytelling with a glint of satire and he isn’t afraid to let his raw and emotional vocals set the stage.
Abbott is perhaps most known for his surf punk trio The Phantom Limbs, with which he wrote an EP trilogy followed by an LP entitled Get Wet with the Mothman. Powered by genre busting guitar riffs and lyrics anchored in horror movie imagery, the band toured the country and made a splash in underground punk scenes. Later, Abbott scored a hit with his acoustic trio The Dead Pens, a group comprised of Abbott, classical cellist Sally McGee and singer/pianist Danah Koch, drawing attention and accolades from Relix Magazine and the College Radio Charts (#160). The Abbott penned song “Claire” found its way onto major Spotify and terrestrial radio playlists, garnering global spins.
Playing the role of the court jester whose job was to remind the monarchy of its inescapable mortality, Journos’ clever witticisms coupled with their chaotic musical pulse produce a terrific collection of deep-thinking hard-drinking songs. A scathing editorial, Journos’ debut full-length album In the Key of WTF is a sonic statement that neither buries the lead nor misses the point.
