The Mainstay, Rock Hall, Maryland’s 25 year old non-profit concert venue, is pleased to announce the starting lineup of its 2023 music series. The offerings include a variety of music genres as performed by local and regional favorites, as well as nationally touring acts. The calendar also includes monthly programs such as pianist Joe Holt’s First Friday series (held on the first Friday of every month), with each show featuring a different guest collaboration (again, representing a variety of styles and genres); and the increasingly popular Open Mic series held on the second Wednesday of each month.
