Maritime Roots Rock

only $15

Come and shake off the mid-winter blues with a warm evening of fun-filled maritime music and humor. As the musical Goodwill Ambassadors for the City of Annapolis, the Maritime Republic of Eastport and the Chesapeake, Them Eastport Oyster Boys play good-time original folk tunes, island rhythms, salsa, boogie, dixie-swing, waltzes, chanteys and some good ol’ rock-and-roll - all based on deadrise workboats, oysters, good dogs, blue crabs, and other themes unique to the Chesapeake. They may invite you to “Rock Around the Docks” or go “Downy Ocean Hon’”. Spinsheet Magazine said “The Boys’ style is fun and easy, while their lyrics sing true to the beauties and realities of living on the Bay.” The band is comprised of Eastport’s finest musicians (and boat bums) with Kevin Brooks on guitar, banjo and acoustic bass, the versatile Tom Guay on hammer dulcimer, fiddle and electric guitar, Andy Fegley on trombone, Pete Miller on electric and upright bass, and Mike Lange on keyboards.

This event is co-sponsored with the Rock Hall Yacht Club. If you are a RHYC member, check your newsletter for info about a dinner and show combo ticket. If you want the dinner and show make your reservations through the RHYC. If you just want the show, give us a call.

Located in a 100 year old building on Main Street, The Mainstay is a cultural and artistic center for Rock Hall, a historic “waterman’s” town on the Upper Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The town’s healthy mix of of people with a deep heritage on the Eastern Shore and newcomers who have fallen in love with the area give it a vitality, a hometown feeling and a sense of community that is hard to beat.

The Mainstay is a warm friendly place with great sound and sight lines. With only 120 seats, there’s not a bad one in the house. It’s a listening room that’s almost as comfortable as your living room. Beer, wine and soft drinks are available. Our audiences range from local Rock Hallers and Eastern Shore residents to those who find their way here from Philadelphia, Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington DC and beyond.

The Mainstay offers more than 40 concerts a year. You can hear great jazz, blues, classical, folk …almost any form you enjoy. Check out “Performances” to see what’s coming up and here to see a list of some of our past performers.

So, come and see us in Rock Hall… our town motto is “nice people live here” and you’ll find a whole group of those people right here at The Mainstay!
