Sidewalk Serenades: Close (But Not Too Close) Personal Concerts

SidewalkSerenadeFinal

We are THRILLED to announce the 2021 edition of Sidewalk Serenades! We will be working with the performers directly to ensure safety measures and are confident that this series offers a way for you to enjoy safe and magical live music. 

Creative Alliance is once again offering you the opportunity to have a short performance of two to three songs delivered to the front of your home (or a friend/loved one’s home) for a small fee.

Performers will come to the confirmed address, text the residence upon arrival and, like a burst of sunlight through these gray skies, share their talents from the sidewalk. The donations from each of these performance events will be shared between the artist and Creative Alliance to help keep the arts alive and thriving in Baltimore!

Interested in performing? Please submit your info here:

2021 Edition:

SUN JUN 6 | Lionel Lyles Trio​
SUN JUN 13 | Marc Avon Evans, Kevin Jackson, & Irvin Madden​ Low Ticket Warning!

Voted ‘Best Concert Series’ by Baltimore Magazine 2020
“The concerts are a way to keep the arts alive and artists employed in these uncertain times with a bootstraps approach that’s truly Baltimore.”

 
The Basics:
  • Performers will come to the front of your (or loved ones) home and will perform for 20 -30 minutes.
  • Concerts will be scheduled on the hour, and you can purchase them on the Creative Alliance website.
  • Ticket sales end when all slots are booked OR 8am day of the concerts.
  • If there is poor weather, concerts will be rescheduled to the next nice day, if possible

What if I want to purchase a concert for someone else??? 

  • Just leave the name, address, and cell number of the person the concert is for in the COMMENTS Section when you check out online.

What if I live in an apartment?

  • Performers will not enter an apartment or shared home but can perform in front of the complex or on the side of a building. This is a great option for musicians that project well (horns, trios, etc)
