FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Jan. 28, 2009

Chester River Runoff bluegrass band to perform February 22
at Annapolis Maritime Museum’s Winter Maritime Concert Series

The Eastern Shore bluegrass quartet Chester River Runoff will perform at the Annapolis Maritime Museum’s New Winter Maritime Concert series from 7 to 9 p.m. on Sunday, February 22, in the Bay Room of the newly restored McNasby Oyster Company building. Admission is $12 in advance, $15 at the door. For reservations, call 410-295-0104.

Chester River Runoff plays music that is continuously evolving from their inception in the fall of 2004 when four young musicians from divergent musical backgrounds decided to master the driving bluegrass that they all had loved. Together they have established a country bluegrass sound that echoes in the wide open spaces of the Chesapeake, carrying it to venues and radio airwaves across the region. They have grown from a small-town string band that relied more on humor than prowess, to a dynamic bluegrass band. With a confluence of styles and interests that flow together, they continue to develop a style that is all their own. High energy shows, and their ability to connect with an audience through sincere originals and unique takes on traditional music make a CRR concert a memorable experience.

The Winter Maritime Concert Series is sponsored by the Chesapeake Music Institute, the Arts Council of Anne Arundel County, the City of Annapolis, and the members of the Annapolis Maritime Museum. For a complete schedule of performers, additional information and directions, see the Museum web site at www.amaritime.org.
