Falling In December is a powerful pop/rock band straight from Baltimore, Maryland. FiD is made up of former Honest Mistake members, Carl Goldys (guitar/vocals) and John Parrish(drums), along with James Goldys adding vocals.

Paperback Tragedy is a pop/hardcore punk foursome from Baltimore, MD. Though once described by the Baltimore City Paper as “Snowboard Punk,” these boys work hard to defy genre while remaining true to their dirty little punk rock souls.

Seriously,  a co-bill couldn’t get much better than this.

The young and soulful Sonya Kitchell and the ridiculously talented Raul Midon on January 8 at Rams Head On Stage.

I don’t think I could ever get tired of listening to that guy.  He not only has some serious guitar chops but he also plays a mean mouth trumpet (no joke!  click here to check it out).  Then you have Sonya, who, at the ripe old age of 19 has been spending her last few years of teen-dom lighting the world on fire…landing a spot on Starbucks Hear Music program, touring with Herbie Hancock, appearing on David Letterman and the Late Late Show Craig Ferguson among many, many other things.  Check out a little taste of Raul and Sonya performing live…
