We could hardly contain our excitement when our pals in Pigeons Playing Ping Pong told us they wanted to play a First Thursday!
The Baltimore-based band formed in 2009 in a University of Maryland dorm room and has since become a national touring act. The high-energy quartet has performed at sold-out tours and festivals at iconic venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Capitol Theatre, Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, and Jam Cruise. They even host Domefest—their own annual camping festival in Ohio! If you ever wondered what “seizing the moment” sounds like personified, look no further. Prepare to get down in a pool of positive vibes. Join "The Flock" on August 1!

The young Annapolis-based indie folk singer-songwriter creates an unapologetic space for catharsis... Inspiring not just tears, but compelling you to laugh, sing, scream, and dance, too.
Eckman’s five piece band devotes everything to emotion, drawing influences of Joni Mitchell, Phoebe Bridgers, Adrienne Lenker, and Radiohead through the filters of chamber pop, indie rock, 70’s soul, and pop-punk.
Eckman has opened for Nancy Wilson of Heart, Bailen, Deb Talen of The Weepies, and Vanessa Carlton. She's also teamed up with fellow Annapolis musician Skribe. Eckman’s debut album “where you left me”, releasing January 2024, highlights her relationships and quest for autonomy in her early 20’s—tunes that have become listener favorites on WTMD's airwaves.
