Adding a Friday night to the schedule for the first time, this year\u2019s installment offered an expanded lineup with several prominent names from the genre and a series of workshops and open jams.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; -webkit-user-select: none;\" title=\"Charm City Bluegrass\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CCBF2018day2-99dcmusic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"39292\"><\/span><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; -webkit-user-select: none;\" title=\"Charm City Bluegrass\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CCBF2018day2-99dcmusic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"39292\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Immediately upon entering the festival grounds, the local flare of this festival is readily apparently, with all beer being served by Baltimore\u2019s own Union Craft Brewing and a collection of vendors featuring classic Baltimore cuisine like crabcakes and pit beef. As Colebrook Road opened the festivities on the main stage, a panel discussion took place on the history of Baltimore bluegrass at the Jack\u2019s Hard Cider Stage across the grounds. This discussion of the long legacy of bluegrass in the Charm City ranged from the history of the genre in Charles Village, to the connection of bluegrass legend Del McCroury to the city, and local banjo legend Walt Hensley\u2019s influence on Sam Bush. This panel was an outstanding way to introduce casual fans to Baltimore\u2019s place in the larger history of bluegrass music and understand the roots of the festival.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday night, the festival drew a fairly thin, but engaged crowd that responded enthusiastically to each band throughout the night, but the first prescient moment of the festival came as <strong>Mile Twelve<\/strong> played a beautiful rendition of Elton John\u2019s \u201cRocket Man,\u201d and as they reached the chorus, the clouds parted, providing the first rays of sunshine that would last throughout the first evening.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; -webkit-user-select: none;\" title=\"Baltimore Traditions at Charm City Bluegrass\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CCBF2018day1-28dcmusic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"39296\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Baltimore Traditions<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; -webkit-user-select: none;\" title=\"Baltimore Traditions at Charm City Bluegrass\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CCBF2018day1-28dcmusic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"39296\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Baltimore Traditions<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Next up on the main stage,<strong> Caleb Stine<\/strong> played an exciting, high-energy set that featured one of few percussionists for the weekend. This set got the crowd up and dancing for the rest of the night. Following Stine\u2019s set, the festival organizers introduced an ensemble put together just for Charm City Bluegrass that they called \u201cBaltimore Traditions.\u201d This group offered classic bluegrass, featuring nine pickers on stage for a raucous old-time throw down, setting up an outstanding closing set by<strong> The Travelin\u2019 McCourys<\/strong>. The McCourys opened their set with \u201cCumberland Blues,\u201d grabbing the crowd immediately with the <strong>Grateful Dead <\/strong>classic and reeling them in for a set that showed why this band remains one of the premier bluegrass acts in the country. When the Travelin\u2019 McCourys are on stage, the tightness of the band truly stands out above all others.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; -webkit-user-select: none;\" title=\"Jeff Austin Band\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CCBF2018day2-96dcmusic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"38981\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Jeff Austin<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; -webkit-user-select: none;\" title=\"Jeff Austin Band\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CCBF2018day2-96dcmusic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"38981\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Jeff Austin<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The second day kicked off early in the morning with a schedule that didn\u2019t stop for nearly 12 hours.

Charm City Bluegrass is a truly special festival, in no small part due to the local character and \u2013 dare we say? \u2013 charm it infuses into every component, from the lineup of local artists, to the kegs of local craft beer and cider, and the workshops that focus on the largely unknown history of bluegrass in Baltimore. In its fifth year, the festival feels as though it has become a well-oiled machine and is organized as well as any urban music festival you could find, but provides a warm, intimate vibe that is absolutely unique to the Charm City itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Enjoy photos by our photographer <a style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/chris-gamber\/\">Chris Gamber<\/a> of <a style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ChrisGamberPhotography\/\">Chris Gamber Photography<\/a>, <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><a style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/shantel-breen\/\"><strong>Shantel Breen<\/strong><\/a> of <a style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thesesubtlesounds\/\">These Subtle Sounds<\/a>, and &nbsp;<a style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/jason\/\"><strong>Jason Herman<\/strong><\/a> of &nbsp;<a style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JasonHermanPhotography\">Jason Herman Photography<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Day 1 &nbsp;&#8211; April 27, 2018<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n<h5>Day 1 &nbsp;&#8211; Charm City Bluegrass Afterparty at the 8&#215;10 with &nbsp;Better Off Dead<\/h5>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n<h5>Day 2 &nbsp;&#8211; April 28, 2018<\/h5>\n<p>ngg_shortcode_2_placeholder<strong>Related Articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Related<\/strong> Articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Related<\/strong> Articles<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sixth annual Charm City Bluegrass festival was held in Baltimore\u2019s Druid Hill Park last weekend, drawing thousands of bluegrass fans from the region to the land of crabcakes and losing baseball for the first two-day installment of Baltimore\u2019s favorite music festival.

capital in 2006. A dedicated fan of the jam band scene, Seth has logged countless miles attending upwards of 70 Phish shows, dozens of Umphrey's McGee shows, and trips to LOCKN' and Peach festivals. Also an activist, you're likely to spot Seth registering voters with Headcount at DC's local music venues."}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38116"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38116\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117736,"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38116\/revisions\/117736"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38118"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
