Janie Meneely & Friends
to Kick Off Annapolis Maritime Museum’s
Free Brown-Bag Lunch-Time concerts
in Eastport, July 11

Eastern Shore singer/songwriter Janie Meneely will perform original songs and tell tall tales of the Chesapeake Bay at a free lunchtime concert on the banks of Back Creek in Eastport on Wednesday, July 11, from 12:15 to 1 p.m.

The informal concert will be the first of a biweekly series sponsored by the Annapolis Maritime Museum and will be set along the newly landscaped shoreline of the grounds of the Barge House on Bayshore Drive behind McNasby’s Oyster House at the Back Creek end of Second Street in Eastport.

"Bring you lunch, sit at the picnic tables under the shade of a tree, watch the boats come in and out of the creek, and listen to some wonderful music," invited museum board chairman Peg Wallace. "If you like what you see and hear, you can leave a small donation for the museum."

Janie Meneely founded the popular Chesapeake Bay folk group, Crab Alley, in 1984, and has recently produced her first solo album of original songs inspired by the Bay. She’ll be joined by longtime pal, Jefferson Holland. Jeff and Kevin Brooks, also known as Them Eastport Oyster Boys, will perform at the second concert on Wednesday, July 25. Future dates are every other Wednesday through September.

Directions: From downtown Annapolis, drive across the Eastport Spa Creek Bridge, turn left at the Shell Station onto Severn Avenue, turn right onto Second Street, drive all the way to the end. Park near the McNasby’s Oyster House and walk around to the back.
