There are a few events this week that should entice you–indoor and outdoor events!
Annapolis Entertainment
If you deem entertainment as relaxing and singing along to varied genres of music at a local spot, you are in luck. 49 West Coffeehouse provides a weeklong session of great music for relatively cheap. Monday, four singer/songwriters hit the stage on West Street and perform their own tunes. See these originals for $10 on Monday from 7:30 to 10 p.m. Tuesday, Unified Jazz Ensemble performs at 8:30 p.m. This show is acoustic jazz at its finest, done by friends. See this group for $6. Wednesday, Starr’s Jazz Jam returns with Joe Byrd and some others at 7 p.m. The show is jazzy and costs a cool $10. Thursday, The Fred Hughes Trio is scheduled for a jazz performance at 8 p.m. Come see this acclaimed group for $10. Friday, guitar-playing, part-indie-sounding, incredibly-talented Bob Sima performs at 8 p.m. for $20. Saturday, The Jazz Update brings harmonized music from saxophones, bass, and pianos to the stage. This group plays at 8 and 10 p.m. for $20 each. Sunday, round out the week with the Swing Brothers at 4 p.m. for free; Sue Matthews and Steve Abshire for jazz at 7 for $20; and Jonathan Stone for free coffeehouse tunes at 10 a.m. Learn more about these events at http://49westcoffeehouse.com.
Now that the weather is a bit more spring-like, partake in area cruises! There are several cruise lines and areas that these cruises travel to. Watermark cruises depart every Saturday and Sunday from now until June 23 when the season really picks up. It depends which cruise you choose, but most last 90 minutes, and all are enjoyable. The price and reservation policy is dependent on the cruise you would like to enjoy. Pencil one in on your busy calendar; visit http://cruisesonthebay.com to do so. If you’re a Schooner Woodwind guy or gal, the same things go for this popular cruising company: price, place, and reservations are dependent. View http://www.schoonerwoodwind.com to learn more.
The Colonial Players end this week on a high note with the final curtain performance of their hysterical (pun intended) yet historical play. In the Next Room, in case you haven’t heard, revolves around a young wife’s interest in her husband’s new invention: the vibrator. Meant to cure hysterics, the wife is both stounded and perplexed by her husband’s invention at the same time. Come see this 1880 performance either Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday before the play ends. Look to www.thecolonialplayers.org to purchase your tickets.
Annapolis Green
It’s another round of Green Drinks this Tuesday. The location is Brian Boru Restaurant off Route 2. Enjoy the ambiance and learn about green area practices from 5:30 p.m. This event is free though there is a cash bar.
City Dock is the place to be this Friday for a celebration of National Bike to Work Day. There will be prizes, shirts, snacks, and info circulating the very green event from 7 a.m. to 8:45 a.m.
Saturday, there are several family-friendly events from which to choose: one at Quiet Waters, one at Smithsonian Research Center, and one at Cabin Branch off the Severn River.
