    A Few Moments With An Eastport Oyster Boy (Kevin Brooks)

    The Eastport Oyster Boys are turning 30, and if you've lived anywhere near Annapolis for more than 5 minutes, you've probably heard their "music and mirth" drifting across the water at least once. Today, Kevin Brooks — the band's lead troubadour and chief storyteller — joins us to talk about three decades of Chesapeake Bay songs, Eastport legends, and how the Oyster Boys became the self-appointed (and officially appointed) Musical Goodwill Ambassadors for the City of Annapolis and the Maritime Republic of Eastport. We dig into the band's origin story, the "good hat, good dog, good boat" philosophy, and why the Oyster Boys have always mixed laughs with a little love for the Bay and the culture that surrounds it. We also preview the big 30th anniversary "Shuck It Tour Celebration" show at Maryland Hall on March 22, featuring founding member and Annapolis Poet Laureate Jeff Holland, plus a lineup of Oyster Boys alumni musicians. Proceeds benefit Annapolis Musicians For Musicians, which provides scholarships and emergency support for local working artists — so it's a party with a purpose. We cover tickets, the VIP option, and the post-concert reception, and Kevin shares what fans can expect when the band hits the stage for this hometown milestone. If you want Eastport stories, Chesapeake music, and a reminder that not everything in the world has to be taken so seriously — this one delivers.

    Bonus Podcast: Providence Point, Under Construction (Finally)

    The Village at Providence Point is taking shape in Annapolis, and the people behind it — and the people preparing to call it home — are already feeling the momentum. In this episode, we sat down with Cyndi Walters, president of National Lutheran Communities & Services (NLCS), and Chill Hotchkiss, NLCS director of sales, to talk about how The Village at Providence Point moved from vision to reality. Walters walks through the long road to get here — planning, approvals, legal challenges, and what it takes to bring a project of this size and scope to the finish line.  Hotchkiss gives a closer look at the property itself, the lifestyle being built, and what prospective residents are looking for as they consider their next chapter. He also explains how he develops relationships to ensure a pre-built community! And then we hear from three future residents who are ready to make the move: Phil, Ilse, and Carol. Phil and Ilse are married and will be moving in together, and Carol will be moving in independently. They share their personal "why," what drew them to Providence Point, and the parts of this transition that feel exciting — from community and convenience to peace of mind. They also offer fascinating insights into their lives and what they're looking forward to most once the doors open. Is The Village at Providence Point for you? Have a listen.
