Starting Thursday August 26th our humble city of Baltimore will be buzzing with the sounds of 140 bands in over 10 venues downtown. The Baltimore independent Music and Arts Festival is a three day event showcasing tons of independent bands and musicians from the Baltimore/DC area. The tickets all range in price but they are all low and manageable for any music lover able to attend. There is also an all access pass option for $49. That's less than what you have to pay to see Paramore on the Honda Civic Tour.
