While it’s not a comprehensive events calendar, our picks are diverse and may highlight jazz, rock, folk, noise, punk, hip-hop, R&B, metal, experimental or just about any other sub-genre or style that helps make Baltimore’s music scene varied and vibrant.

- Friday/Saturday, October 3rd and 4th – U+NFest (Unregistered Nurse) Round 3, Days 1 and 2
Ottobar, 2549 N. Howard St. at Doors open at 6PM – $20 for a 2-day pass ($13 for one day)
The local promoter Unregistered Nurse brings Round 3 of their acclaimed UN Fest with some great acts including Ed Shrader’s Music Beat, Windhoney and Iron Reagan. This is a BIG deal and an absolute steal. Also, in lieu of the recent tragic events, it’s important as a community we show the Ottobar family our support.
