Severn - thanks very much. The band is called Canal Street String Band and we'll be playing a concert for the Folklore Soc of Greater Washington on Nov 17. In conjunction with that, I was fishing around for a Baltimore gig but unsure of where to look. A musician friend (Brad Kolodner) suggested the Cabaret at Germano's on S. High Street, so we now have a gig there on Nov. 15. To answer your question, we are touring with our show "Folk and Blues Roots of the Grateful Dead" which explores the jug band music, Child ballads, old folk songs, blues, and honky tonk music that inspired Jerry Garcia and company - we're doing that show in Baltimore. For the FSSGW, we're doing a straight concert of American folk music, including canal songs, sea shanties, cowboy songs, western swing, fiddle tunes and several original instrumentals.
