Super City is back at Creative Alliance for a 2-month residency, this time with local legends Glorian and Eze Jackson! Having released their first album with a record label in 2023, Super City is hitting the road again and starting the year off right in Baltimore.

Still bringing their melodic, guitar-driven sound to the stage, Super City is known for blending heavy rock elements and danceability, all with band choreography that results in striking live performances.
