When many people think of Baltimore music they think of the musical "Hairspray". I know because I am one of them. The sounds of Corny Collins and the rest of the cast can go on forever. Hairspray is about social change through the power of song and dance and the message and tone can be quite powerful. All of the best scenes - whether they are from the original film, the Broadway Musical, or the remake - take place in the great city of Baltimore. How many other cities in America can (at least fictitiously) claim such positive social change through the power of song and dance?

The music scene is as diverse and culturally important as the people who inhabit this great city. There are many local venues that produce some of the best and most powerful music in the world and I am hoping to see what you feel is the best of the best. What is your favorite radio station in Baltimore? What are the best clubs with the best music in the city? What concerts and other musical events are you most excited about? Where do you think the heart of the music is in the city? From the urban beats to the country twang I want to hear about it all!

I am so excited to hear about what you feel is the best music Baltimore has to offer and look forward to all of the great responses.
