About the Festival:
Get ready for a very special, beach-front music festival with a mission to protect the Chesapeake Bay through education, awareness and donations to non-profit, conservation organizations.
You’ll enjoy your favorite modern bluegrass bands on two stages and an interactive workshop pavilion.
Annapolis Baygrass Music Festival features delicious, local-sourced food, including fresh oysters, local microbrews, craft cocktails and wines, a ‘hopping’ beer garden, yoga classes, beach and yard games, kid’s activities, local craft vendors, music and bay conservation workshops, an exceptional VIP experience and much more.
Festival Mission:
Our core mission is to protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay through education, awareness and donations generated by a wonderful weekend of music and community.
Part of all proceeds from ticket, food, beverage and merchandise sales will go to Maryland-based non-profit organizations that work tirelessly to protect the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed. So, just by having fun, you’re helping the Bay.
As we like to say: “Every Jam Saves the Bay!”
Our secondary mission is increasing mental health awareness in our communities and connecting the public with important mental health and wellness resources. We believe “Every Jam Helps a Mind”
Larry Keel is an award-winning innovative flat-picking guitarist and singer/songwriter hailing from Appalachia and currently residing in historic Lexington, VA. Raised in a musical family steeped in the mountain culture of the region, Keel began from an early age to forge a distinctive sound, taking bluegrass and classic country music and infusing those styles with a rock edge and elements of improvisational jazz.
With the acoustic guitar Keel has brought the flat-picking form to its highest level of sophistication and sonic power with his muscular yet refined style of playing. As a songwriter with a catalog of nearly 100 original compositions, Keel integrates raw honesty and charming grit to create music filled with reality, imagination, imagery and vibe. He has appeared on over 20 albums, 12 of which he produced, and has written songs that have been recorded and performed by distinguished artists including Grammy-award winners Del McCoury and The Infamous Stringdusters.
He has performed at iconic venues including Tokyo Disney, Carnegie Hall, Town Hall NYC, Red Rocks Amphitheater, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, LOCKN, High Sierra Music, Bonnaroo, Del Fest, Hullaween, and countless more. He has inspired and merged creative forces with some of the greatest artists in modern roots music such as Tyler Childers, Billy Strings, Greensky Bluegrass, Keller Williams and Sam Bush, to name a few.
