What’s up readers?

Great news! Join us this Friday at the Baltimore Soundstage in Baltimore, Maryland for the Mad Tea Party Pre-Party.  Come out to see old friends and familiar faces with live music from The Werks, LITZ, and Deaf Scene. If you haven’t heard of the Mad Tea Party Jam, feel welcome to come see what the festival is about, make new friends, talk with the good people who have been there before, and share in the groove. This is an all ages event. Doors open at 8 p.m. Show starts at 9 p.m.

Aqueous will be at the Flour City station in Rochester, New York this Friday and Saturday, bringing you two nights jam-packed with progressive, funky, groove-rock.  The band, which formed in Buffalo in 2006, has proven themselves to be one of the most dedicated improvisational rock acts on the circuit currently. Buy a ticket to either night, or grab a two-night pass for a small discount.  Tickets are sure to sell out fast, and the number of two-night passes in limited. Don’t miss out on your chance to experience Aqueous!

Nearby in Ithaca, Twiddle will be bringing the jam at The State Theatre of Ithaca Friday and Saturday night.  Another recent act which has quickly picked up steam, Twiddle is known for their captivating live performances, and style that incorporates many musical influences. Further south, in Philadelphia, the instrumental, electronic jam band Lotus will be setting up shop at Union Transfer for a two-night run, also this Friday and Saturday.  Another powerhouse on the touring circuit, Lotus has proven that they know how to party.  Their shows are a rollercoaster-like experience that always leave you wanting more. If you’re feeling fancy, purchase a two-night VIP pass and get a chance to meet the band, and gain access to the “soundcheck party.”
