A single ASO Live! Household ticket for real-time viewing of one concert is $49.

This week's guest is Darren Smith. Read more about his experience in his book about his incarceration "Behind the Walls"

Well educated. Rewarding career. World traveler. An all-around well-rounded individual. These are a few of the notions that come to mind when friends, family, peers and acquaintances speak about Darren Smith.

On March 15th 2019, Darren Smith became inmate #1474625, as he was sentenced to 60 days in the Jennifer Road Detention Center in Annapolis, MD for a DUI conviction. Suddenly, Darren goes from living in a world without limitation, full of promise and adventure, to being in a state of absolute confinement. All the while, his career, and the resources he's worked to attain up to this point, are hanging in the balance.

30 For 30: The Writings Behind the Wall is the personal account of each day Darren spent being incarcerated. Revealing, compelling, and insightful, 30 For 30 explores it all, from Darren's daily rituals, interactions with other inmates, analysis of stories, books and current events, his time spent as a jail employee, and much more. Taken directly from the journal he kept while inside (and expanded upon once released), this intimate, extremely detailed and introspective account of Darren's time behind bars provides a front row seat to watch as he navigates, and ultimately perseveres, through the most difficult moment of his life.

Today's guest is Comptroller Peter Franchot. The Comptroller, who is running for Governor of Maryland, recognizes some Annapolis community heroes. We discuss MD's Tax Free Week, education, social justice issues, budget cuts, mail-in voting. facilitating homeownership for minorities, helping small business owners by streamlining permits/regulations and incentives for people to come work remotely in Maryland. The Comptroller mentions that he would like to see alcohol delivery continue after the pandemic!

The Rotary Club of Annapolis will hold "Rotary Crabs To Go!" a drive-through crab and corn fundraiser at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on Friday, August 7, 2020.

This year, "Rotary Crabs To Go!" will replace the Club's traditional crab feast held annually at the stadium on the first Friday in August. While the coronavirus crisis has made the traditional gathering of 2,000 guests impractical this year due to social distancing requirements, the funds generated by the event to benefit the community are more important than ever.
