This Spy is seriously considering attending the 23rd Annual Spaghetti Dinner at St Luke’s UM Church in St Michaels this Friday.

Saturday one of our favorite bands currently touring, Caravan of Thieves, comes to the Avalon. They’re another one of those ‘hard to pigeonhole’ groups. The website describes the music as, “Driving gypsy jazz rhythms, acoustic guitars, upright bass and violin.” That’s just the half of it. They also stomp and clap and insist that you sing along. The best twenty bucks you’ll spend this month.
