Gigs We Dig

Yamandu Costa BCGS Performance

|

Yamandu Costa is performing in Baltimore this April 21st at 8:00 at Kaplan Concert Hall in Towson University. The concert is being put on by the Baltimore Classical Guitar Society and tickets can be purchased in advance here.

Speaking as a whole, Baltimore is not primarily thought of for its flourishing classical guitar scene, but the BCGS has routinely brought in world class acts to amplify the arts community in town alongside the stellar local academic institutions and their notable alumni. Yamandu's playing is ripe is virtuosity, humor, and warmth, and the concert promises to be an engaging and satisfying musical experience.

Read on for a brief history of the artist as well as a video of the attached mp3 brought to us by way of Rio de Janerio and DobleChapa films. You dig?

Warning Track Power: Oh Oh Orioles

|

Spring has sprung in Baltimore and I took the liberty of a spring break this last week – The Dig included. The much needed R & R felt great and gave me an opportunity to go visit old friends KyleWhoDigs and SteveWhoDigs in Brooklyn. It also gave me time get to Opening day at Camden Yards and see my birds wallop the Twins. 

Baltimore is a sleeping giant in terms of baseball fan base. I still believe in Orioles Magic and I know that this town wants to believe with me. Local band Warning Track Power holds the faith and shows their pride front and center with their catchy fight song Oh Oh Orioles. 

Save for some mediocre lip syncing the video looks great and captures the excitement of a new season. It's also really funny that the song is about the potential of the Orioles but the band name is Warning Track Power implying that they have enough potential to rally excitement, but not enough to get the job done. I really hope they did that one on purpose.

The song is only a buck on their Bandcamp page and the video is embedded in the main article here so read on to check that one out. I'll see you at the Yard Baltimore. Let's go O's!
