Join the Enoch Pratt Free Library and AARP Maryland for an evening of music with Caleb Stine.
The BALTIMORE SUN has called Caleb Stine the “lynchpin of the Baltimore folk scene.” Flying just below mainstream radar, Stine keeps the music honest– hardworking, genuine, and unafraid to tell it like it is. To date, Stine has released over ten albums, scored music for films, acted Off-Broadway, and played guitar with Vieux Farka Toure. His original songs and story telling will leave you with a smile and something to think about.
