Brandon Woody is one of the country’s strongest young jazz trumpeters. A working musician and Baltimore resident, he, along with drummer Allen Bernard Branch will set up in front of your house for a hot set of tunes as part of our brand new home concert artist support delivery series, Sidewalk Serenades: Close (Bit Not Too Close) Personal Concerts. In the time of Covid-19, we shouldn’t forget the power of live music. Enjoy the best of Baltimore from 6ft or more.

About Sidewalk Serenades:
Creative Alliance believes that a Baltimore without live performances is a Baltimore without joy – and we won’t stand for that!
As you likely know, working musicians, dancers, magicians, burlesque performers, aerialists, and other performance-based artists have had their gigs and their livelihoods cancelled for the foreseeable future. Join Creative Alliance in creating performance opportunities for these artists throughout Baltimore while simultaneously respecting the need for everyone to keep a safe distance.
Beginning this week Creative Alliance will offer you the opportunity to have a short performance with 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!
The Basics:
What if I want to purchase a concert for someone else???
What if I live in an apartment?
