Mark Schatz & Bryan McDowell
2022-10-28 19:30 - 21:30 (America/Halifax) | MD
This multi-generational duo presents a broad spectrum of American acoustic music, and their new CD, Grit & Polish, went to #1 on the DJ Folk Charts in 2021. Both Schatz and McDowell are multi-instrumentalists who cruise seamlessly from old-time to bluegrass, from folk to swing, playing and singing tunes and songs, old and new, including their own original compositions. Western North Carolina native Bryan McDowell grew up in a rich musical environment where he learned everything from Doc Watson to Charlie Parker. Mark has toured and recorded with a who’s who of the acoustic music world including Bela Fleck, Nickel Creek, Tony Rice, and Tim O’Brien. The two worked together in The Claire Lynch Band from 2009 to 2014, and they’re excited to present a new and dynamic show which of course will include some of Mark’s colorful hambone and Appalachian clog dancing.

ABOUT TONY DENIKOS
Website: www.tonydenikos.com
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EALMHj23Vg
“Tony Denikos has garnered so much praise and reviews that I wasn’t left with hardly any adjectives for my review. …There’s a warmth and natural soulfulness to this sound that is as approachable as it is admirable…. Next time I sit beside Prine at Arnold’s Meat & Three, I am going to hip him to the fact that I know who is going to fill his shoes when he retires.”–Gary Allen (JJ Cale/The Charlie Daniels Band/Stonewall Jackson)
Some of Tony’s earliest memories are of riding along the country roads of central Maryland, singing songs like — “Jack O’ Diamonds” by Tex Ritter, “Born to Lose” by Ray Charles, “Caldonia” by Louis Jordan, and “Pendulum Swings” by Roger Miller — along with his Dad and sisters while my mom smiled at the landscape gliding by… A seed had been planted.
After years of playing pubs and bars in various configurations, Tony decided it was time to record a collection of songs he’d written and released Naked & Smiling (1999). The Washington Post reviewed it calling Tony a, “Tunesmith in the best sense of the word”, and folks started coming out to listen to his originals. A tradition of recording songs about real life, mixed with humor, heartache and it was born.
In 2005, Tony headed to Nashville to begin his next project, Already Gone. He started laying down tracks with Timm Biery (Danny Gatton, Nils Lofgren). Timm brought in Dave Jacques (John Prine, Emmy Lou Harris), Dave Roe (Johnny Cash, Dwight Yoakam), and Warner Hodges (Jason and the Scorchers) on the project to record with Gantt Kushner, Scott and Jen Smith (Naked Blue) and myself – what an amazing experience. Already Gone hit the streets with a bang in late 2009 and received critical acclaim from DJs and writers around the globe. It went to #2 on the Euro Americana Chart and #7 on the Freeform American Roots (FAR) Chart right out of the gate.
In 2012, Under the Church was released and again Tony found himself on the EA and FAR Charts and the tongues and pens of critics around the globe. Under the Church went to places both darker and more light-hearted than previous releases and may well be Tony’s best CD to date.
From South Carolina to Texas to upstate New York, you can find Tony performing in any number of configurations. Be it an intimate and conversational acoustic solo show to a full-on, five-piece band, Tony’s is truly a must-hear -a must-see show for anyone who values first-rate songwriting and performances.
ABOUT GEORGIE:
Website: www.georgiejessup.com
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc01dc9gFf8
Georgie Jessup’s songwriting is influenced by everything from old-school country to Memphis R&B, placing her music firmly in the “cosmic” Americana Music genre. Her lyrics reflect her outspoken advocacy for animal rights, Native American issues, transgender rights, and environmental sanity.
The subject of an award-winning documentary film, Woman In A Man’s Suit, Georgie also has six, well-received CDs available.
“A flock of flamingos delivered [Georgie’s] latest CD – which lit up my abode like Yellowstone National Park with all the bears on fire (cast a whole new light on Smokey, didn’t it?).” says Legendary award-winning American novelist – Tom Robbins.
“Georgie sings from the heart, like a rare flower in a wilderness,” says blues diva Candye Kane. “She speaks to us about the deepest issues. Issues that all of us should care about, but so many of us pretend don’t affect us.”

Jim Patton And Sherry Brokus
2022-11-25 20:00 - 22:00 (America/Halifax) | MD
Jim Patton & Sherry Brokus at 49 West November 25
Severna Park natives Jim Patton & Sherry Brokus, now a folk rock duo residing in Austin TX, will celebrate the release of their “Going the Distance” album at 49 West, 49 West St. in Annapolis, Friday, November 25, at 8 pm. Luke Chohany will join them on guitar and mandolin.
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”
