Joseph Isaacs 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!
