A Christmas Carol for Edgar Allan Poe

TWELVE SHOWS ONLY
Nominated for a “Saturday Visiter” Award from the International Edgar Allan Poe Festival!
Run time: Approximately 95 minutes, plus one 10-minute intermission.
What if “A Christmas Carol” was written about America’s greatest writer of horror and suspense?
That’s the idea behind “A Christmas Carol for Edgar Allan Poe.” This brand-new play was commissioned by The National Edgar Allan Poe Theatre and written by Zac Pensol — both past winners of The International Edgar Allan Poe Festival “Saturday Visiter” Award.
The show is just what it sounds like: A mashup of the life of Edgar Allan Poe and the structure of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” It tells Poe’s story up to the last days of his beloved wife Virginia Clemm – and the lessons he learned about love and happiness one fateful December night. It’s a new spin on a timeless classic, and it’s bound to be a new Baltimore holiday tradition.

The Gilmour Project: Wish You Were Here
2025-12-09 20:00 - 22:00 | Rams Head On Stage, 33 West St, Annapolis, Maryland, 21401
The Gilmour Project was poised and ready to launch in April 2020, then the world hit the pause button. They re-emerged in 2021 pivoting to David Gilmour’s Pink Floyd repertoire.The songs that compel exploration & improvisation are mainly Gilmour’s and this rendition certainly does not dismiss the iconic contributions of all 5 historic musicians that comprise the Pink Floyd complement.
The Gilmour Project incorporates musicians whose background is both prog(ressive) AND improvisational, and is the only band since Blue Floyd in 2000, endeavoring to take these songs ‘OUT,’ speaking in jazz protocol, without disregarding the cherished classic hooks, licks & musical phrases.
Acclaimed musicians Jeff Pevar (lead guitar with CSN, David Crosby, Phil Lesh, Ray Charles) and Prairie Prince (co founder of The Tubes, & drums with Todd Rundgren, Jefferson Starship, Phil Lesh), Kasim Sulton (bass & vocals with Todd Rundgren’s Utopia, Meatloaf & Blue Oyster Cult), Mark Karan (guitar & vocals with Bob Weir, RatDog, The Other Ones), and Scott Guberman (keyboard & vocals with Phil Lesh), are more than psyched to bring you the initial installment of The Gilmour Project .

The Milk Carton Kids: Holiday Tour 2025 w/ Humbird
2025-12-10 20:00 - 22:00 | Rams Head On Stage, 33 West St, Annapolis, Maryland, 21401
Founded in 2011, The Milk Carton Kids — Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale — swiftly emerged as a major force in the American folk tradition, blending ethereal harmonies and intricate musicianship with a uniquely powerful brand of contemporary songcraft. Their 2013 debut The Ash & Clay marked their national breakthrough, earning them their first Grammy Award nomination for Best Folk Album. Another Grammy nomination followed in 2015 for Best American Roots Performance with “The City of Our Lady” from their acclaimed third studio album, Monterey, and their 2018 album All The Things That I Did and All The Things That I Didn’t Do received a Grammy nomination for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. Their most recent album, 2019’s The Only Ones, garnered extensive praise, with Rolling Stone highlighting that “Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan get back to the beautiful basics with The Only Ones,” while NPR’s “World Café” noted that “even though Joey and Kenneth are not related, their voices together create a sibling-like harmony…the duo has a strong sense of respect and reverence for the musical traditions that they’ve grown from.
The Milk Carton Kids were nominated for “Best Folk Album” for their new record I Only See The Moon at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. This marked the group’s fourth Grammy nomination.
I Only See The Moon is out now to critical acclaim on Far Cry Records in partnership with Thirty Tigers.
“Both of us have now lived enough life to understand that maybe one of the purposes we were put on Earth for is to sing together, to write songs together, to make music together,” notes guitarist/vocalist Kenneth Pattengale. “It has truly provided a direction for our lives.” Ryan adds, “It’s like a successful marriage in that there’s always been enough there between us collaboratively in the way that we work together, sing together, play together. It’s a very special thing. And I don’t think we ever took that for granted.”
