GET OUT AND LISTEN to live music.
The musical history of the DC/Baltimore area is rich and deep in its variety of great music. From icons of the guitar like Link Wray, Roy Buchanon and Danny Gatton to music legends Duke Ellington and Marvin Gaye. There are many hidden histories in the backgrounds of these musicians. This site will try to fill these histories in so that you can see what a treasure we have in our own back yard as well as that of other artists that RIGHT ON RHYTHM has had the pleasure of taping or coming into contact with. The thing that gives me the most pleasure is getting out and setting up to tape in the small clubs. My thanks go out to the owners that have let me take up the valuable space. Clubs such as Smokeless, The State Theater, Full Moon Saloon and others. Check back here for new and updated info on many of your favorite locals. If you know of additional information on the great music of the DC area that belongs in this list, please send it.
