The Annapolis Baygrass Festival has helped make Maryland’s capital a hub for bluegrass music, but thanks to Naptown’s longest-thriving venue, bands, duos, and solo players have an intimate venue to visit at any time of the year, not just for the end-of-summer Baygrass gathering.

A couple of acts on the rise, North Carolina’s Chatham Rabbits and East Nash Grass out of the Music City recently embarked on a series of co-headlining shows, offering concertgoers the chance to enjoy two different takes on string-band music in the same sitting.

The night of March 2, Chatham Rabbits — performing as a duo — and East Nash Grass — rolling as a quintet — teamed up to treat a packed Rams Head on Stage with two terrific sets of songs.
