CCB Faithful,

Since 2013, Charm City Bluegrass has been honored to bring you the best in bluegrass, folk, Americana, and 'that ain't bluegrass'. We've also taken great pride in partnering with beloved local businesses that became staples of the festival and part of our greater family. UNION Craft Brewing, The Local Oyster, Bark Barbecue Co., Mother's Federal Hill Grille, The 8x10, and so many others became part of the fabric of the Charm City Bluegrass Festival.

We've been honored to receive recognition by the International Bluegrass Music Association, Baltimore magazine, and so many other great media channels throughout the years. Possibly one of our favorites was rammin and jammin an entire bluegrass band in a car with Traffic Jam Jimmy (RIP) and pickin tunes while he drove around Baltimore.

That leads us to the future. What's next?

In short, Charm City Bluegrass Festival is taking an indefinite hiatus. As a small independent team, we simply don't have the resources to produce the festival this year.

However, we are internally working on a plan to figure out how the festival could potentially continue in 2026 or beyond. We will keep you updated on any developments on this front!

In closing, we ask that if you love music festivals and in-person entertainment, make a plan to attend and support them, especially independent producers. Here in the greater Baltimore/Maryland area, we ask that you go support Baltimore Old Time Music Festival, Hot August Music Festival, Annapolis Baygrass Music Festival, DelFest, The Ramble Festival, and others to keep the music and good vibes flowing!

We know times are tough. Inflation hurts. And it feels like we're becoming more digitally oriented by the day. But we ask that if you enjoy in-person events, keep music festivals and other live entertainment experiences in mind and in your budget.

For now, we're not saying goodbye, but see ya later! And thank you for the past 11 years, it's truly been a magical ride that we couldn't have done without you.

🪗🎻🪕THIS SUNDAY AT THE 8X10! Will we see you there?

A pair of Charm City Bluegrass fest veterans, Twisted Pine and Charm City Junction team up Sunday at the 8x10 for an evening of exultant travels across genres, across time, to mountains, cities, roadhouses, and back porches where songs bring tenderness, love and relief. On vinyl and on stage, the sound of Twisted Pine is unmistakable, exuberant, daring.

A big thank you from everyone at Charm City Bluegrass for supporting our small community festival that has supported and uplifted the Baltimore bluegrass community since 2013.

This year’s event at our new home was a ton of fun despite the challenging and difficult weather conditions. Unfortunately, due to the weather and other factors beyond our control, the festival’s ability to remain viable has come into question.

What does this mean?

We honestly do not know at this time. We are hopeful to continue the festival next year but it is too early to make a decision at this time.

How can you help?

We have a ton of Merchandise from this year’s and years’ prior festivals for sale; as well as a 2023 autographed festival artists Banjo for sale that will help support the festival.

Our founder and CEO Phil Chorney is expanding out from the music business, brining Healthy Home Dryer Vent Specialists to Maryland.

Healthy Home is a family owned and operated , professional dryer vent company serving all of Palm Beach & Martin County in Florida, and now Baltimore, Carroll & Harford Counties in Maryland!

Partnering with industry leaders we provide our clients an unmatched level of service and professionalism. Most of the time drying problems are thought to be dryer problems. We find that most homes we service the problem usually lies in the exhaust system and not the actual dryer. We started Healthy Home Vents for two reason. First is to protect your family and possessions from a costly dryer fire. The second is to give you some time back in your day. No one likes to wait for their dryer to do 2-3 cycles to get things dry. More than anything we enjoy being able to help make your laundry life easier, and your home safer.

We are frequently asked what makes us different than other vent companies. Our technicians take pride in what they do and that translates into a white glove experience. The dryer vent exhaust consists of the transition hose, the duct, and the exterior termination. Without inspecting all three of those components, it cannot be guaranteed your system is completely clean. We get into attics and we get onto roofs, but most importantly we love what we do.

Thanks for your support!
