Trace Adkins w/ Brett Eldredge
Trace Adkins has long been country music’s alpha male, a man whose commanding presence and once-in-a-generation baritone have made him a pillar of the contemporary Nashville sound.
He is the man who gave us one of modern-day country’s rowdiest classics, “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,” and one of its most touching, “You’re Gonna Miss This,” which earned two of his four Grammy nominations, became his third chart-topping hit, and was named the ACM’s Single of the Year. He is equally convincing across a musical spectrum that stretches from “Hot Mama” to “Songs About Me,” from “(This Ain’t No) Thinkin’ Thing” to “Then They Do.”
WPOC presents what will surely be one of the biggest country concert events of the summer.

Combining a Philadelphia soul sound with a strong appreciation of Marvin Gaye, Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly was among the top R&B acts of the late ’70s and ’80s. The distinctive Maze and its charismatic lead singer, founder, producer, and songwriter Beverly didn’t have many pop hits, but they were extremely popular among soul and urban contemporary audiences and enjoyed at least six or seven gold albums.

Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo and
Dennis DeYoung:The Music of Styx
“The Elements of Five Tour”
“Hit me with your best shot!” Who does not love belting out the lyrics to this classic Pat Benatar tune? And while we are at it, you can rest assured that love was a battlefield well before our girl Jordin Sparks said so. In the heat of this July night you are gonna be living the dream all over again with a certified 80′s Queen ready to pump out hit after hit of timeless musical glory. From the reviews so far, we hear this tour is ready to show you what the good old days were all about and more importantly what we’ve been missing.

Known for his electric performances on stage, rock sensation Peter Frampton celebrates the 35th anniversary of Frampton Comes Alive!, one of the top-selling live albums of all time.
The album features some of rock radio’s most enduring classics, including “Baby, I Love Your Way”, “Do You Feel Like We Do” and “Show Me the Way,” and held on to the top spot on Billboard’s Top 200 charts for ten weeks, unprecedented for a live album.
In 2006 Frampton’s all-instrumental record, Fingerprints, earned a GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album. We are excited to celebrate the anniversary of rock’s greatest live album!

For the first time ever, two great blues-rock artists share a band for a night of their best-known hits, from the smash hits “Lido Shuffle” and “Lowdown” to “I Keep Forgettin’” and “Yah Mo B There.
Michael McDonald first made a name for himself as a guest vocalist for Steely Dan and then as a member of the Doobie Brothers. He’s penned songs for artists such as Aretha Franklin, Millie Jackson and Carly Simon and he’s had several of his own successes over the years including: “I Keep Forgettin’ (Every Time You’re Near),” “Yah Mo B There” with James Ingram and “On My Own” with Patti LaBelle.
Boz Scaggs has an equally impressive resume having worked with everyone from Steve Miller to Donald Fagan to Duane Allman and many others. The song “Lowdown” off of the 1976 release “Silk Degrees” won Boz a Grammy Award and propelled the album to more than 4 million records sold.

Dierks Bentley
Remember, heating up the pier this summer will not be just about the weather. Dierks Bentley, a hot commodity himself, has once again landed a chart topping single with his song “Am I The Only One“. Now lets combine the forces of foot stompin’, barnyard rompin’ tunes with what has come to be known as one of the greatest party shows on the road. Leave your bashful date at home and make it a night for the crew that can throw down on the town. Party responsibly my friends. The pier is in fact surrounded by water.

Emmylou Harris w. Todd Snider
As a featured artist at this year SXSW Music Festival in Austin Texas, Emmylou Harris is set to have a big year entirely and we have fixed Baltimore right in the center of it. In the heart of the summer she will bring her tour with Todd Snider coming along as support. With a new album out, dynamic instrumentation and the classic, purely soulful vocals we’ve come to love from Emmylou, the Pier will be set for a night made in music history.
