Sitting on a porch with a cold glass of lemonade at sunset, one could hardly imagine it getting any better. However, with the classic bluegrass twang of Baltimore-based The Manly Deeds, perfect somehow manages to get better. Capturing the old-timey vibes of backwater jug bands, The Manly Deeds is polished yet authentic and invokes woodsy feelings of being at home. They have mandolins, banjos, kazoos, harmonicas, and sheer talent at keeping their music fresh. You’ll find this fantastic folk foursome at Baltimore Folk Fest, 10/24, at Ottobar. The festival is driven by community support and needs your help! Check out their Indiegogo for some awesome sponsorship opportunities. -Jonathan Goodwin
