Madison Morton is releasing her debut EP, “Out Loud”, and she’s bringing the best of the Chesapeake with her.
Tune in for a cant-miss Thursday night show with live music from Gage Rhodes, Fluorescence, Mo, Pete Sanchez, Briana Merkel and Madison Morton
Gage Rhodes: Gage Rhodes is an indie folk singer-songwriter from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Gage and his band, The Rural Depression, do not mind talking about the funny, dark, strange paths we find ourselves on. Influenced by a lifetime of strangeness, trouble, and eclectic music tastes, Gage Rhodes and The Rural Depression try to make honest songs for their listeners to enjoy.

Fluorescence Fluorescence is a psychedelic indie rock band from Maryland, formed back in 2021. Originally a four piece, two of the members Jeremy and Drew will be putting on an unplugged acoustic set for this show. Playing some classic originals with a more intimate and striped down vibe.

MO MO started out in a college dorm basement and grew through summer open mics in New York before settling in Maryland. Their sound blends soft rock and acoustic folk, showcased in both covers and original tracks. The band features Mary Sprague, a lifelong musician skilled in guitar, saxophone, and piano. Olivia Libowitz, the band’s vocalist and a Maryland native, is a dynamic singer-songwriter with a passion for collaboration and crafting songs for both MO and other artists.

Briana Merkel: Born of the ancient Appalachian mountains, Briana Merkel sings of love, loss, healing and redemption, with a grassy, genre bending style all her own. You can find her on stages throughout the mid Atlantic performing solo and with her band JiggleBilly.

Pete Sanchez: Hailing from Edgewater, Maryland, Sanchez discovered his love for music at 14 when he first picked up a guitar, and by 18, he had written his first song, sparking his musical journey. Now based in Chestertown, Maryland, his music combines introspective singer-songwriter elements with ambient and folk-inspired rhythms. His 2018 debut album, Prologue, self-produced and acoustically authentic, showcases his lyrical depth through singles like “Oh No,” which explores romantic mysticism. From the evocative “Chesapeake” to “Sounds Made Moved By Lovers,” the album reflects themes of love and hope, establishing Sanchez as an artist whose music offers solace and inspiration.

Madison Morton: Madison Morton is an independent singer-songwriter from Maryland’s eastern shore whose music is an intimate reflection of her life’s journey. From a young age, Madison immersed herself in music, using songwriting as a form of personal expression and journaling. Her acoustic sound, primarily driven by her guitar, captures the essence of her introspective and often melancholic lyrics. As a self-taught musician, Madison crafts each song with a raw honesty that resonates deeply with her listeners. Her songs are more than melodies—they are poignant glimpses into her soul, shared with a sincerity that makes her music both relatable and profoundly moving.
