Baltimore Springstonians - Read This!

If you're in Baltimore, and you love The Boss, you may want to attend this event:

THE MUSIC OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN:
FEATURING GEOFFREY HIMES AND BOB KANNENBERG


Geoffrey Himes, the noted Baltimore music critic, and Bob Kannenberg, the leader of Baltimore's roots-rock band the Barn Burners, celebrate "The Music of Bruce Springsteen" in a free afternoon event at An Die Musik on Saturday, December 10, at 2 p.m.

Himes - a music critic for the Washington Post and Baltimore City Paper - will discuss and read from his new book on Springsteen, Born in the U.S.A., part of Continuum's acclaimed 33 1/3 series. Kannenberg will present "unplugged" versions of several Springsteen songs plus a few of his own compositions influenced by Springsteen. Both the author and the musician will be signing copies of their books and recordings.

There is no admission and everyone is invited. An Die Musik is located downtown Baltimore at 411 N Charles Street. For more information, contact the store at (410) 385-2638. This event is co-sponsored by the Roots Café and the Red Wheelbarrow Theater.
