The program aims to connect local musicians with new audiences and opportunities through the brewery’s network of venues, studios, vendors, and more.
Flying Dog Music recently released its first compilation – Baltimore: Volume 1 – in partnership with Mobtown Studios, a Baltimore recording and mastering studio. The 16-track CD is an eclectic mix of indie acts, soul, avant jazz, pop punk, and symphonic rock from the likes of Mr. Moccasin, Holy Ghost Party, Brooks Long & The Mad Dog No Good, Microkingdom, The Manly Deeds, Me & This Army and more.
“We set out to highlight the sounds of Baltimore’s burgeoning music scene,” Savage said. “Our longtime partnership with Mobtown Studios was taken to the next level with this project, as producer Mat Leffler-Schulman, with help of local musician Al Shipley, gathered submissions from all corners of the city and selected some of the best talent in the area.”
The compilation will officially be released May 24 at Baltimore’s famed Ottobar, and will continue to be available at Flying Dog Music events throughout the year.
