Upcoming Shows
 
AM/FM's TRIBUTE TO PRINCE
Monday, May 2nd
AM/FM Prince Tribute
Prince Tribute Fundraiser. Featuring Annapolis artists playing Prince covers and paying tribute. Doors open at 6pm. Tickets sales will benefit the AMFM - Annapolis Musicians Fund for Musicians and their Families (providing temporary relief to musician families in the Annapolis area that are either sick or injured). $15 in advance - $20 at the door.
LIQUID A 
Friday, April 29th
Liquid A
Since they are a partying cover band, their one and only influence is their audience. You want it, you got it. After all, their job is to make you have the best time you've ever had - Top 40, Dance, Sing-alongs, Classics, Oldies, Rock, Blues, you name it, they play it. They're a bit like Sirius.

Hailing from various towns in eastern Pennsylvania, Liquid A is a powerful 4-piece band. Everything they do is high energy and compelling. Guitarist Mike (known as “English” Mike) is a master of styles, bassist Tom is technical and solid, and drummer Jay is hard hitting and so into the energy, he sometimes stands up to smack the kit. Round it off with front man and second guitarist Stacix adding his emotional singing presence, and you have a really great rock band.
SCREAMING MONKEYS 
Saturday, April 30th
Screaming Monkeys
Playing hits from 70's and 80's the way they SHOULD be played. These guys put on a fun show with excellent musicality and stage presence.
3AM Tokyo
Friday, May 6th
3AM Tokyo
3AM Tokyo is the brainchild of Grammy nominated Singer/ Songwriter/ Producer “Picasso”. A powerful mix of electronic dance, pop, dubstep, and rock sets the band apart from their peers. 3AM is well known for their aggressive, high energy shows. From their inception, it’s been clear that they’ve been on a mission to fire up the party and impress every crowd they come in contact with.

3AM’s explosive sound has been pushing dance floors throughout multiple major cities on the East Coast, and they’re quickly becoming a college town favorite. 

Picasso and his band of world class musicians are really capable of pulling off any song. This allows them to dip into past decades and show their versatility and detail. But they are leaders in the modern dance world, setting the pace and staying up to date with all the top current hits. The sounds and dynamics of 3AM are flawless and Picasso has a producer’s ear for creating interesting arrangements and mash-ups. This alone gives them a unique identity. Mix it with the talent, passion, and drive of the band, 3AM Tokyo is a truly matchless experience. 

With the 2013 release of 3AM’s debut album “One of Those Crazy Nights” Picasso collaborated with select musicians from other notable regional acts. Featured were lead singers from Kristen & The Noise, Lost in Paris, Liquid A, Go Go Gadjet, and more. The album is getting lots of well deserved attention and the band straps in for an amazing ride of endless opportunity in 2015!
MARSHALL LAW
Saturday, May 7th
Marshall Law
Five guys came together with the same idea: Play some high-energy country and rock music cover tunes, give it an edge, and have a party doing it. Enter Marshall Law. What you can expect at a show is, well...the unexpected. What you'll get is a big dose of songs to dance to, sing along with, and party your asses off to.
20 YEARS: THE REAGAN YEARS
Saturday, May 14th
