Hi
I want to connect with musicians and Baltimore and surrounding areas that are interested in musical projects in these areas
All instruments and all styles
Let's work together and improve the musical environment and gigging seen in Baltimore
We can explore common problems such as rehearsal and recording and transportation issues
There are many great possibilities
I am looking forward to hearing from anyone and everyone
With 2016 quickly approaching let's make this a great year for music Peter
