Writers in the Round with Arty Hill and Peter McKibben

Located at 30 West North Avenue at Maryland Avenue (next to Wind-up Space, catty corner from Joe2) in the heart of Baltimore City.

“Who wants the honky tonks of Nashville to have all the fun when we have such great singer-songwriters here in Maryland? Join us Friday night as Arty Hill makes his Cyclops debut and brings along some fantastic friends like Peter McKibben, who just played the WTMD First Thursday show with Hoots and Hellmouth.

BIOs
Cow Island Music recording artist Arty Hill marries the soul of classic country with the wry storytelling of Townes Van… Zandt and Guy Clark. His songs have been recorded by the Grammy-nominated Kenny and Amanda Smith Band, AMA award-winning Alt-Country pioneers Jason & the Scorchers, Rockabilly queen bee Marti Brom, and Austin’s Texas Sapphires. He sings with an “‘everyman’ quality…reminiscent of Johnny Cash.” Vintage Guitar Magazine. And with his recent recordings topping the Freeform American Roots (FAR) Chart, it’s no wonder Rambles.net calls him “a country songwriter of the first order.” His latest recording, a tribute to Hank Williams (including three new original tunes about Hank and his music) further cements Arty’s standing as a confident new voice in real country music. Look for Arty’s fourth full band recordiong, “Another Lost Highway,” in March 2011

From out of Lake County Ohio and into the neighborhoods of Baltimore, Peter McKibben has brought his own blend of American music to the ears of listeners young and old. McKibben is currently writing and performing with his band The Herd of Main Street. The group has released two full length albums on their own (“Hearts, Roads, & Tears” and “Seven Dollar Grave”) and continue to bring to life McKibben’s stories of outlaws, desperation, heartaches, hopes, and courage.”
