The Eastport Oyster Boys will perform on Friday, July 20 at 7 pm as part of Maryland Hall’s Free Summer Concert Series, sponsored by RPH Architecture, in the main theatre. Free popcorn will be offered and wine and beer will be available for purchase. No tickets are required; all seats in the theatre for summer concerts are first come, first serve.
Appointed the Musical Goodwill Ambassadors by the City of Annapolis and the Maritime Republic of Eastport, the Eastport Oyster Boys love to share their musical celebration and stories of life on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. The Oyster Boys’ simple philosophy is wrapped up in the three basic necessities of life: “a good hat, a good dog and a good boat.”
The Boys are a collaboration of four of the Chesapeake region’s finest and most experienced performers and bring with them a wide variety of instrumentation including acoustic/electric guitars, keyboards, banjo, fiddle, melodica, trombone and even hammered dulcimer. The Boys musical tastes cross numerous genres and include island rhythms, Americana, boogie, Celtic, Dixie swing, chanteys, waltzes and even some good ol’ rock-and-roll.
