Maryland Roots Music.com is dedicated to fostering community and connection among performers, artists, fans, and folks in the business in and around Baltimore and Maryland and beyond.

The site features in-depth profiles of our favorite artists (in which they reveal their answers to the five questions nobody likes being asked); the skinny on upcoming shows and events; reviews and commentary; and other stuff related to this uncategorizable music we all love.

Maryland is home to a vibrant community of world-class musicians.  Maryland Roots Music.com revels in this.  It celebrates, promotes, and honors these artists and their songs because a society without a thriving music scene isn’t much of a society at all.

The best way to build a sense of community is to get to know the folks you share your space with.  And like Woody Guthrie said, “The best way to get to know any bunch of people is to go and listen to their music.”  So go.  Listen to the music.  The door will always be open.  For one more.
