Our Café Mainstay series with Max’s Mainstay All-Stars continues featuring the players that made Max n’ Friends so great. This time, the Redd Brothers - Chuck on vibes and Robert on piano are joined by house band regulars (and stars) John Doughten on reeds and Steve Abshire on guitar. Tom Anthony will lay down the bass lines. Recently John filled the house for his tribute to Benny Goodman and Steve has been playing some tributes to Herb Ellis. This will be a special concert, a chance to see some of your old favorites in a new configuration and as always at the Café Mainstay, the best of improvisational jazz!

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 locals and newcomers give it a vitality and hometown feeling 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 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!
