Pressing Strings with special guests Heartside
November 16 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
When music is given the benefit of instinct, imagination and inspiration, the results are guaranteed to be good.
So, it ought to come as no surprise that the critically acclaimed Annapolis-based trio, Pressing Strings, has infused those elements within their musical mantra since the beginning.
The band —Jordan Sokel (Guitar/Vocals), Nick Welker (Bass, Vocals), and Justin Kruger (Drums, Vocals) —traces its origins to Sokel’s initial fascination with some iconic influences, like Dylan, Marley, Simon, Withers, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin, etc., as well as some more under-the-radar artists like Taj Mahal, R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, and Nick Drake.
Since achieving headliner status at home in Annapolis, as well as in Baltimore, Washington DC, and Maryland’s Eastern Shore, their fame has spread to the entire Eastern Seaboard, leading Pressing Strings to make frequent festival appearances at Peachfest, Firefly, Sweetwater 420 Fest, Floydfest, Cavefest, and WTMD’s First Thursdays.
