Annapolis-based act Kings of Crownsville, Germano's house band, is a Roots Rock band with a New Orleans flavor. The brainchild of New Orleans-raised guitarist/singer/songwriter Steve Johnson, the Kings play a rollicking, entertaining set that stirs Americana, Blues, and Jazz into the mix. Johnson's original songs are destined to become classics.
The band's horn section transports listeners to the streets of the Big Easy, while they also add precise three- and four-part harmonies to their musical gumbo. Think Louis Armstrong meets Steely Dan.

Ian Nagoski is a Baltimore-based music researcher of early 20th century music in languages other than English. Ian will transport the audience with an immersive 90-minute exploration of disappearing music he has unearthed and its social/cultural roots and routes. He’ll also share the love of his findings both by listening and discussing various carefully chosen pieces that are like shellac gems.
Compline is a service of evening prayer and reflection that originated from the daily worship (offices) of the monastic tradition. Compline is offered when the work of the day is completed, and the quietness of evening settles over the hearts and minds of those who have come together in thankfulness for the blessings of the day which has passed and in anticipation of God's gift of a new day. Joining in this ancient tradition of the Christian faith unites our hearts with the “cloud of witnesses that have preceded us.”
Organ Recitals are presented on weeks that the choirs of the Maryland State Boychoir are on tour. During these weeks, Compline is on break, but our audience is not! These recitals are presented by staff and friends of the Maryland State Boychoir.
Organ Recitals begin at 8pm in the Sanctuary at the Maryland State Boychoir Center for the Arts.
