| | Deadgrass, Bluegrass Covers of The Grateful Dead
Tuesday, November 11th, 2025 at 7:30 pm
Live Arts Maryland Studio
Deadgrass is an acoustic five-piece band that celebrates the music of Jerry Garcia. Formed by multi-instrumentalist Matt Turk and Grammy Award-winning guitarist C Lanzbom, Deadgrass reimagines Garcia’s catalog with a fresh acoustic twist. Drawing inspiration from Jerry’s Jug Band days, Old & In The Way, JGB, the Garcia/Grisman collaborations, and of course, the Grateful Dead, the band blends new-grass, Americana, and jam-band energy into a sound that’s both timeless and new. “Improv-laden, phenomenal chops, refreshing and fun,” raves NYS Music.
The lineup features world-class talent: Lanzbom on guitar, Turk on mandolin and vocals, bassist Dave Richards, fiddler Clarence Ferrari, and new-jazz-grass banjoist Russ Gottlieb. Together, they bring Garcia’s spirit to life through dynamic interpretations, soaring harmonies, and electrifying musicianship.
Deadgrass has built a loyal following across the Northeast, performing in clubs like Garcia’s at The Capitol Theatre (Port Chester, NY), Mexicali Live (Teaneck, NJ), and DC’s Gypsy Sally’s, as well as theaters and festivals including Memorial Hall (Wilmington, VT), the Sterling Folk Fest, and Wormtown. Wherever they go, audiences are swept up in the energy, improvisation, and joy of the music.
Matt Turk, described by All Music Guide as “an artist to be reckoned with,” has shared stages with Pete Seeger, Judy Collins, The Doobie Brothers, Fiona Apple, and Mickey Hart. A veteran performer and recording artist, his global touring experience adds depth to Deadgrass’ sound—making every show a celebration of community, creativity, and Garcia’s enduring legacy.
The Live Arts Studio is located on the Bestgate Road side of Annapolis Mall. Use the main entrance between Offenbacher's and The Container Store, turn left at the main corridor, and we are located on the right hand side of the hallway next to Loft. | Buy Tickets |

It will be joined by the ethereal music of Esenvalds and Arnesen as we introduce new music to Annapolis music lovers.

| | Paapa-Berchie
Saturday, November 22nd, 2025 at 7:30 pm
Live Arts Maryland Studio
Paapa-Berchie brings together melodic hip-hop, contemporary R&B, Afrobeats, and pop to create a performance that’s both vibrant and welcoming. His set highlights this unique blend, moving seamlessly from smooth lyricism to dance-ready grooves, with plenty of space for audience connection along the way.
The show opens with “TiDal Wave” (from O.P.E.R.A., 2020), a track full of layered synths and harmonies that ebb and flow like the tide. From there, the energy shifts through the intimate, late-night vibe of “Mindless Talk” (2024), the bright, chantable rhythms of “GLOW” (2022), and the motivational bounce of songs from the "No Turning Back EP" (2021). Fan favorites like “Queen” (2021) and “Hometown” (2020) round out the set with soulful R&B textures.
Live, Paapa-Berchie is all about warmth and participation. Expect call-and-response hooks, head-nod tempos perfect for light movement, and dynamic shifts that carry the audience from reflection to celebration. With roots in choral and church-choir traditions, his vocals shine through stacked harmonies, precise ad-libs, and a clarity that favors live connections.

Inspired by artists like Chris Thile and The Piano Guys, Front Porch Orchestra is set to revitalize all 17 movements of Pytor Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker – played on banjo, violin, viola, guitar, string bass and percussion.
