Queen Anne's

Thursdays in the Park Concerts
It all kicks off when…
the sounds of New Orleans
come to the Chesapeake Bay with
Philip Duton & the Alligators
at the Chesapeake Heritage Center
June 6th 7:00 pm

June 6th get your bad self ready to dance to Philip Duton & The Alligators at the Chesapeake Heritage Center at 425 Piney Narrows Road in Chester, Maryland. Experience the high energy of this emerging local band. The Alligators play a broad variety of music from or about Louisiana and New Orleans with the goal of spreading this great music around Maryland’s Eastern Show and beyond. And who knows how to party better than “N’Awlins”? Inspiration comes from Professor Longhair, The Meters, Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, Louis Armstrong, Jon Cleary, and many others. With an ever-growing catalog of great music spanning four decades, there is sure to be something on their playlist for everyone.

So kick off your Summer with a sunset concert on the bay! Bring your blankets, chairs, food, and drink. Bring your friends, family, kids, and neighbors. But most of all, bring your dancing shoes!

Concerts are, as always, FREE and family friendly.
Donations are welcome. Small contributions go a long way!

If you were lucky enough to attend their show with us last year, you already know why they’re a favorite of the season. If you weren’t, you’d better come along and find out!

September 12th Keri Anthony at Cascia Winery on Thompson Creek Road in Stevensville. If you were lucky enough to catch Keri at any of the cozens of local venues she’s played, you know all about this local star. Playing catchy acoustic rock tunes with a soulful edge from the 70s and 80s, she can capture an audience with her timeless vocals and haunting guitar work. She’s the real deal! This show has a special time of 6:00 to 8:00, an hour earlier than the other shows this summer, to account for an earlier sunset in September,
