Wednesday, July 8th – The Yellow Dress / Viking Moses / Vayda / Amanda Glasser
Loners Club at 9:00 PM – $5

What a lineup on Wednesday at the DIY space in Charles Village. Viking Moses has been making music and touring the world for two decades and only recently settled in Batimore. We should consider ourselves very lucky to have him. Vayda and Amanda Glasser are also fantastic songwriters that each play a nice mix of beautiful, dreamy pop and folk tunes.

Thursday, July 9th – Dale Watson
Creative Alliance, 3134 Eastern Ave at 8:00 PM – $18

Yes, you read that correctly. Honky tonk country legend, Dale Watson, will be gracing Baltimore with his presence at The Creative Alliance Thursday evening. He’s a throwback Outlaw figure with more Grand Ole Opry in him than CMT, that’s for sure. Get your tickets ahead of time to save some money.
