Roxy Petrucci is an unapologetic, bad-ass chick rocker and she and her band, Vixen, will be at Rams Head On Stage on Wednesday, July 27th.

More than a million albums sold. Six #1 videos on MTV. Four songs on Billboard's Top 100 and they are ready to rock Annapolis and bring back the 80s.

This was a great conversation with one of my favorite bands of the 80s, and more than most..felt like I was talking to an old friend--we took this one wherever the conversation led. From her classically trained clarinet to her grandmother's plastic slipcovers!

Have a listen! Buy a ticket! See you there!

Art is alive at Maryland Hall. And the venerable institution has a new leader in Jackie Coleman!  Coleman rolled into town back in March from New Haven and hit the ground running.

We recently sat down with her in her office to hear about her impressions of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, Maryland Hall, and all the people that help it along! We learned about her vision for the next few years, her background, and more immediately, what to expect from Maryland Hall today!

And of course, we spoke about the fantastic fundraiser this September 9th--Arts Alive!

Have a listen!

Without a doubt, the restaurant industry in Anne Arundel County was one of the hardest hit industries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Shut downs. Reduced capacity. Outdoor dining in the middle of winter. Staffing shortages. And as we strive to recover, restaurants are now faced with supply chain issues, continued staffing shortages, and prices that are climbing daily.

Today we speak with James King, the CEO of Titan Hospitality which owns brands such as Blackwall Hitch, Blackwall Barn & Lodge, and Smashing Grapes. In addition to these brands, Titan also has experience in franchised operations (Greene Turtle) and fast-food (Arbys). King has a broad knowledge of the struggles facing all restaurants and shines a light on some aspects that often elude the guests. Have a listen!
