Baltimore has a lot to offer. But it was Babe Ruth’s birthday. There were shows like Roc, Homicide and The Wire. In addition, he hosted the maiden last year in Pimilco. Baltimore also has a great live music scene. If you listen to the sound of the Basement at 98 Rock, you get a chance to hear many bands from Baltimore and around the country on Sunday nights. It begs the question of where to see these and other musical works in Baltimore. I found a few spots in the Baltimore Metro Area to catch live music.
Fletchers: Located in Fells Point, this bar has many live local and national acts. . Past performances include 3 Doors Down, Linkin Park, Cut Boy, Black Peas, India Aire and many more. On Fridays, the Sound Powers Play in the Basement. The concert version of 98 Nights of the Sun Rock shows that puts the spotlight on local music. After the show, work after the launch party. If you didn’t come to see the music, you can check out the live stream of the UFC race or the live audio/visual experience known as the AV Club.
