Save The Date

The 5th Annual Kegs and Corks Craft Beer and Maryland Wine Festival is coming up on  August 20th and there are some great new surprises in store for anyone who goes.

We like to think we are a good judge of character and that is why we did not hesitate to sign on as a sponsor for the festival.


The organizers have a long history of successful, well-attended events; but most importantly, they have a unique flair for the details.

It's the perfect festival for wine lovers and beer lovers alike!


It's one day in mid- August and a perfect end to the summer. The long range weather looks pretty good right about now too!


We will obviously be there and we hope to see you there as well!

All the best-

UNCLE JACK BAND
Uncle Jack Band
Uncle Jack is a Baltimore-based rock/blues/soul band that combines experienced club and touring players with classically trained musicians to form a band that puts a unique twist on the originals / cover band genre.

Call it Rocking the Blues, call it Bluesing the Rock, call it a soulful infusion, the one thing that is for sure is that you will call it entertaining and fun.

Audiences are pouring into their shows over and over again to "Get Jacked."

Uncle Jack combines the stage presence and powerful vocals of Deletta Gillespie and Caroline Hallowell, the precision of drummer Phil Hobby, the rumbling grooves of Greg Reynolds on bass, the tense aggression and wide reaching range of guitarist Larry Stanich, the high energy of keyboard icon Marvin Lewis, and the always energetic horn section comprised of Jason Johnson on trumpet and Matt Simms on the sax, and the sound is mixed to perfection by Dic Gleason.

TWO OF US
Two Of Us
"Two of Us" is a duo professional act consisting of Jimmy Brown and Rob
Finecey.


Jimmy also plays in a Beatles tribute band called "The Fabtastic Four"
and British sounds band "Invasion".

Rob has played in several past bands such as Silver Queen, Hyde Park and
Appaloosa.


Both are lead vocalist/songwriters who play several instruments.

Together "Two of Us" will bring you the well-polished sounds of the great classics from the 60's and 70's.
