Our "2nd" 2nd Annual Baltimore Old Time Music Festival is in the books! Thanks to all who attended and made it such a magical reunion. Highlights include Alice Gerrard's transportive main stage set, Jake Blount's epic rock-out jam in the lounge, T-Mart Rounders' groovy square dance band, Brad Leftwich the Humdingers' on-stage banter, Bill and the Belles harmony workshop, the massive jam in the lobby, Cathy and Marcy's stories about women in Old Time, Ken & Brad Kolodner's kickoff set to welcome everyone back and last but not least: the macarena dance party at the end of the night. See you for the 3rd fest, March 18-19, 2022!

"The Old Time Community needs a festival like this."
"I've wanted to see this happen in Baltimore for over 30 years. This makes me so happy to see. You done really good."

Creative Alliance convenes some of the brightest old time musicians, singers, and dancers in the country to celebrate where this music exists today. Join host artists Ken & Brad Kolodner for the Baltimore Old Time Music Festival! On Friday night, Ken and Brad welcome a dizzying lineup of musicians for two days of brilliant musicianship, shimmering vocal harmonies, and hot flatfoot dance. Saturday is packed with hands-on workshops from many of our headline performers, intimate performances in the Marquee Lounge, afternoon concerts in the theater and a wild square dance to close out the festival on Saturday night. See you there?
