TONY DENIKOS:

 

Tony Denikos’ most recent release, 2012’s “Under the Church," boasts 10 originals that blend personal storytelling and foot-stomping backbeats in a manner that reflects the influence of everyone from John Fogerty to John Prine, from Lowell George to Graham Parker. “’Under the Church’ goes to places both darker and more light-hearted than my previous releases,” Denikos says. “It allows me to claim my working class roots, reveal my small town disposition, and provide commentary on our current political climate. It may well be my best CD to date. I'll let you be the judge.”

WOODY LISSAUER:

 

Woody Lissauer has played in many of the Mid-Atlantic region’s top rock groups—Multiplex, the Gordon Michael Band, U.S. Bang and Crack the Sky—but it was with his own group, Cubic Feet, that he made his biggest impression. His songwriting won him a publishing deal with Warner Bros. Publishing, and his performances got his videos on Much Music, Canada’s MTV. Cubic Feet's recordings were produced by Peter Solley (Romantics, Peter Frampton, Oingo Boingo) and engineered by Shelly Yakus (Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks), leading to international airplay. His latest album, 2011’s “Adventures & Misadventures in the Rain,” features the hometown anthem “Hampden in the Rain.”

GEOFFREY HIMES:

 

Though he is best known as a music critic for the Washington Post, Baltimore City Paper, Nashville Scene, Jazz Times, No Depression, Paste and others, Geoffrey Himes is also a longtime singer-songwriter who has co-written songs with Fred Koller, Walter Egan, Sonia Rutstein, Billy Kemp, Stephen Wade, Jim Patton, Ed Pettersen, Paul Margolis, Josh Charles, Timothy Bracken, Andrew Grimm, Bob Kannenberg and others. This month Himes will premiere his new song, “Fairground Merry-Go-Round" and will be accompanied by the fiddler Alan Oresky, who has performed with the Fabrangen Fiddlers, the Fast Flying Vestibule and Jim Patton & Sherry Brokus.

AN DIE MUSIK:

An Die Musik is Baltimore’s finest listening room. With 84 armchairs, great acoustics, the city’s best piano and a lobby bar, this performance space above the venerable record store is as intimate as it is inviting. The street parking meters are free on Sundays; the venue offers discount coupons for the area’s ethnic restaurants, and the 5 pm start time keeps the afternoon free while allowing a good night's sleep before the work week. Here, at last, is a music experience designed for adults.
