Lez Zeppelin at Rams Head On-Stage
2020-01-19 19:00
Lez Zeppelin at Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis
All Girls. All Zeppelin.
Since forming in 2004, the New York City-based quartet has toured throughout the United States and Europe to become the first and foremost female rock act to pay homage to Led Zeppelin and to garner rave reviews across the board. Although, LEZ ZEPPELIN stays true to the musically audacious spirit of the original, delivering the legendary rock band’s blistering arrangements and monstrous sound note-for-note at what often are sold-out frenzied shows around the world, the four women that make for the four essentially diverse elements of the band bring their own unique energy and passion to the music. Indeed, this may be the thing that serves most to set them apart. But then, there is also the seamless and strangely appropriate way in which LEZ ZEPPELIN inject their gender-bending performance into material that is often thought of as an historically male expression. For those who believe this to be the case, all that can be said is: times have changed.
Live, the group takes its lead from what Led Zeppelin did in performance, seeking to create an intense experience from the in-the-moment interaction between all the players to both recount and reinvent the musical moment for the audience.

What’s our story?
The Annual Baltimore Queer Seder
Passover is a story of the past but it’s also a story of the present. It’s a story of coming into identity and a community being formed. It’s a story of oppression. And it’s a story of liberation.
This virtual Queer Seder is a chance to retell Passover narratives from unique and welcoming perspectives focusing on diverse gender expressions and sexualities and to connect with other LGBTQ Jews and allies in our community.
On this night, we will tell our stories, ancient and new, speaking of silenced souls and celebrating equality. On this night, we will recall our struggles and dream of a future redeemed.
The stories we tell will make us strong and wise.
Add your voice to an evening of Seder rituals, songs, stories, and friendship.

The Virtual Baltimore AIDS Walk & Music Fest is challenging our community to unite and take every virtual step during this pandemic to stop the HIV epidemic. We declare that 40 years of HIV is decades too long. In memory of the many we’ve lost to HIV and in honor of our long-term thrivers who live with HIV, we pledge to raise money to expand HIV testing, prevention, education, and treatment and do all we can to prevent new HIV infections.
Join us for a virtual challenge from May 23rd to June 5th and celebrate with us on Sunday, June 6th at 5PM with a virtual event with performances by Eze Jackson, Wendel Patrick, and Jasmine Pope.
As we fight the COVID pandemic, we continue to work to end the HIV epidemic.
Every generation has the power to stop HIV. We can make this happen together.
In partnership with local community organizations, we anticipate 500 participants with the goal of raising $165,000 to support local Community Partners with HIV and AIDS programming. Proceeds raised by Chase Brexton Health Care will support the delivery of HIV medication to our patients’ doorstep.
You choose your activity and goal as you pledge your support of those living with HIV and join the community to make sure HIV ends with US.
