2019 Festival Lineup
Priests
Entering their eighth year as a band, Priests—Daniele, vocalist Katie Alice Greer and guitarist G.L. Jaguar—remain an inspired anomaly in modern music. A band on its own label, Sister Polygon Records—jolting the greater music world with early releases by Downtown Boys, Snail Mail, Sneaks and Gauche—they are living proof that it is still possible to work on one’s own terms, to collectively cultivate one’s own world. Bred in punk, Priests play rock’n’roll that is as intellectually sharp as it is focused on pop’s thrilling pleasure centers, that is topical without sloganeering.

Maryland Community Band
Join the Maryland Community Band on a global odyssey filled with music that will inspire your imagination! Soar above the magnificent peaks of the Himalayas or sweep down into the valley along the beautiful Shenandoah River. Perhaps strolling down a country lane with Copland or the symphonic overtures of Gershwin is more your style? In a more traditional mood? Jump across the pond to hear selections from the rich Celtic tradition or travel halfway around the globe to hear variations on Korean folk songs.
