Cat’s Eye Pub, 1730 Thames St. at 9:30 PM – $5

Wednesday, March 26th – Ms. Baltimore (saxophone) & Jay Reese (piano)
The Beatnik, 2101 Maryland Ave at 9 PM – free
I had the pleasure of catching this duo for the first time two weeks ago and it was quite a treat. Their upbeat jazz is the perfect pairing to one of owner, Steve Carson’s specialty cocktails.

Friday, March 28th – Caleb Stine
Carrol Community College Theater in the Scott Center, 1601 Washington Road, Westminster, MD at 7:30 PM – $5
Local singer/songwriter, Caleb Stine is gearing up for a new album, Maybe God is Lonely Too, which drops in April. Although this show is a bit of drive from Baltimore, it’s worth it to see Stine, who is one of Baltimore’s most honest and striking songwriters.

Friday, March 28th – Slow Jerks / Thee Lolitas / Quitter / Dirty Ol Laz & Big Boy / Flying Faders
Gold Bar, 1910 N. Charles St. (2nd floor) doors at 8 PM – donation
This should be a raucous punk rock show with Slow Jerks and company, so expect it to be loud and sweaty. It’s a donation-based event, with the proceeds going to the family of Windian Records founder, Travis Jackson, who died in January.
