Tuesday, August 11 – Karaoke Forever
The Crown, 1910 N. Charles St. at 9:00 PM – FREE
I’ve never been the biggest karaoke fan, but The Crown’s Tuesday karaoke night is a blast. No shame, no modesty, no hold-back. It really gets going around 10:30 or so and makes a good companion to whatever show is happening across the hall in the Red Room.

Wednesday, August 12th – Outer Spaces / Surf Harp / Try the Pie / Nudie Suits
Windup Space, 12 W. North Ave at 9:00 PM – $8
Two of my favorite baltimore bands make for a great Wednesday night at one of the town’s best music bars. Head out to see Outer Spaces and Surf Harp, who will be playing at the end of the night. Try to get their early to see Ruby Fulton’s, Nudie Suits if you can.
