Joseph Isaacs and the Flying Dogs
(Billy J Carter lead guitar, Rich Levinson congos, and Casey
Patocki bass)

and the Music Matters  Showcase
I run a showcase of amazing musicians!  We take turns entertaining-
playing  4 song sets each and then going back around again.  Its an
eclectic mix of music, most of it acoustic, all of it wonderful, all of it
matters. You will be taken aback by the amount of talent we have in
this area.  Come out and check out what everyone has been talking
about.  Showcases are free, but donations to Bread for the City for
the Home

Look for the Long & Fosters- its tucked in a
plaza and hard to see from the road.  Its
across from HCC.
From 95 (between Baltimore and DC) take
route 32 West and then take Broken Lands
Parkway North to Hickory Ridge Road.   
(From route 29 you will be taking Broken
Lands Parkway West).
Take Broken Lands Parkway towards Hickory
Ridge RD.  Turn left on Hickory Ridge (it only
goes in one direction).   Take Hickory Ridge
RD past Howard Community College and right
after Sunny Spring Rd there is a Long and
Fosters on your left.  That is Hickory Ridge
Plaza where Mad City is tucked next to a
chinese restaurant.  Let the Madness BEGIN!
