Kings of Crownsville: "Waiting There For Me"
Annapolis-based act Kings of Crownsville are a roots Rock band with a New Orleans flavor. The brainchild of New Orleans-raised guitarist/singer/songwriterSteve Johnson, the Kings play a rollicking, entertaining set that stirs Americana, Blues, and Jazz into the mix.
Their signature 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.
BASETRACK LIVE
A group of photojournalists documented Marines in Afghanistan by taking photographs and videos using only iPhones. This material, which enabled military families to communicate with their loved ones, began to tell an important story of ordinary people fundamentally changed by extraordinary circumstances. The artful power of these images, a live musical score and spoken word text from Marines themselves come together in a riveting multimedia experience that reflects the uncertainties and separation that are byproducts of war on families and communities.
