Also you can always click on the ABOUT link on our website for all the 2023 upcoming dates and click on our DIRECTIONS link on how to get there.

We had a great show last month with lots of people coming to shop. Some festive folks from The December show!

Below are many of the great things we spotted, including some very lunch boxes, buttons, vinyl (of course), Beatles items, even a record player and some vintage toys were for sale—and of course Christmas albums. We always remember Elvis in January as well. It’s time to start thinking about LOVE and Valentine’s Day coming up since our next show will be after that holiday.

It’s almost here! Our final show of 2022! Shop for wonderful music gifts on Sunday, December 18! Come celebrate the season with us!

It’s hard to believe it is our final show of 2022 on Sunday, December 18 —just in time for holiday shopping for Christmas and also the first day of Hanukkah! Celebrate the season with us while looking for wonderful music gifts! We are open from 9 am to 3 pm and admission and parking are always FREE!

Lots of exciting things from last month’s show! First we had a special treat of LIVE music from “Lonesome” Dave Fisher, his very talented son Gus (he’s only 12 and starting playing guitar only two years ago) on guitar, and his bass player Brad, with three mini-sets at 10 am 11 am, and 12 noon. (He also performs at the iconic The Horse You Came In On Saloon in Fell’s Point.) Dave plays “Real 1950s-Styled Rockabilly Music.” He also had some of his music, T-shirts, buttons, and stickers for sale.

Dave is not only talented but a really nice guy! He came from Colorado during the pandemic and they discovered a wonderful house in Baltimore. They love the weird, fun, and creative vibe of Baltimore and he says that everyone here is really friendly (we like to hear that!) Dave gives lessons at the School of Rock here and also teaches guitar, ukulele, and pre-school music classes at the Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community School in Pikesville. He’s working on a recording project in December. We welcome him and his family and wish him all the best and success with his music here in Baltimore!

We also have our 2023 schedule available so pick up a flyer at the show!

Finally, below are some of the great holiday music across all genres you can find for gifts. See you at the show!

Cool off from the summer heat with sizzling deals at our next show, Sunday, July 17!

Here’s one of our favorite dads – Frank with his daughter, Chrissy on Father’s Day at last month’s show!

Thank you for sharing some of Father’s Day with us last month! Our July show is now a regular event for the second year! So beat the July heat and we will see you on Sunday, July 17th! Look for fun, summer tunes to rock your next barbecue or vacation! The show runs 9 am – 3 pm, and as always no admission and FREE, ample parking at the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department.

Another dad with his son at the show on Father’s Day.

Revealed from our Facebook post—one of our longtime vendors and music guru, Dave Hoffer, holding a poster from November 1970 for a concert at Painter’s Mill—sadly, long-gone. From 1970-71, Dave was the stage manager. The poster was all drawn by hand by Michael Goldberg. Some great acts, early in their career, came through the Painters Mill Music Fair—including Elton John. Also look at the ticket prices back then! It also lists the stores in the Baltimore/DC area where you could buy the tickets like Record and Tape, Time/Peace Boutique and Bum Steer. Groovy!

Here’s another vintage poster from Pennsylvania. Again, look at those ticket prices!

Some very cool, record finds!

A vintage two-side record player!

Also the new ELVIS film is coming out on June 24 and, as you can see at the top of the post, we had a vendor with a great collection of Elvis memorabilia! We are pretty sure they will be back this month. Also spotted were some great posters and books. Below are some more great finds!

We had a wonderful show in April, very busy all through the day and we also had some fun buyers! Carl is a drummer and teacher in the county and told us a great story about Jim Chapin who was Harry Chapin‘s father but also a great musician in his own right! He was a jazz drummer, the author of books about jazz drumming and was posthumously inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 2011. He played with some of the great bands led by Woody Herman and Tommy Dorsey. Carl met Jim who offered to mentor one of his students for two hours at his studio on Long Island—and he himself also learned so much from him!

Carl, drummer and teacher, with one of his finds!

Here’s another fun buyer who let us take a photo of his fun T-shirt!

We had a great crowd! See all the great things below we found last month at the show and there will be more at this month’s show.
