JAMES ARMSTRONG Born into a musical family in 1957 in Los Angeles, James Armstrong had blues music in his blood from the very start. His Mom was a blues singer, his Dad played jazz guitar. Armstrong formed his first band in the 7th grade, and by age 17 he was touring the country. James would start making waves on the local California blues circuit by his 20s, becoming the youngest member of Smokey Wilson's band. In the 1980s, James was a founding member of the band Mama Roo and received his first recording contract for Crescendo Records. In the early 90s, James got plenty of exposure from his musical influences, including Albert Collins, and Sam Taylor. Shortly after that, he was discovered and signed by HighTone Records owner Bruce Bromberg, who had discovered and signed Robert Cray and Joe Louis Walker. Over the years, Armstrong has performed in many countries throughout North America, Europe, Scandinavia, Asia and the Middle East. Armstrong has shared the stage with many artists like 'Keb Mo', Coco Montoya, ChakaKahn, Tommy Castro, Shemekia Copeland, Tab Benoit, Charlie Musselwhite, Walter Trout, Doug MacLeod, Roy Brown, Ricky Lee Jones, Jan and Dean, Mitch Mitchell, and many more. James was also noticed by the music industry, having songs in three major motion pictures. "Bank of Love" was used in Hear No Evil, with Martin Sheen and Marlee Matlin. "Two Sides to Every Story" was featured in Speechless with Michael Keaton and Geena Davis, and also in The Florentine with Jeremy Davies and Luke Perry. Armstrong continues to tour extensively. He pays tribute to the past withthe traditional blues, and his unique songwriting skills. Using both slide and pick, James' guitar playing is some of the smoothest in the business. James regularly brings his vibrant and welcoming live shows to people around the globe. FAST EDDIE &amp; THE SLOWPOKES Fast Eddie &amp; The Slowpokes are guaranteed to get you up on your feet! TheSlowpokes playlist is inspired by classic blues material from Chicago to West Coast Swing, Motown to Muscle Shoals, and all the rock n' roll in-between. Fast Eddie &amp; The Slowpokes have performed from Philly to Memphis, from The Kennedy Center to festivals to roadhouses. They have shared the stage with Mark Hummel, Victor Wainwright (2016 BMA Entertainer of the Year), The Nighthawks, Junior Watson, Big Joe &amp; The Dynaflows, TheAndy T Band, Jimmy Thackery, and Phil Pemberton of Roomful of Blues. They won the 2016 and 2012 DC Blues Society Battle of the Bands and represented the DC Blues Society at the 2017 and 2013 The International Blues Challenge in Memphis! In 2017, they were Semi-Finalists at the International Blues Challenge! In 2024, they were finalists for Best BluesBand by the Maryland Music Awards.

N.S. Savannah

Come experience a time capsule of the atomic age – the world’s first nuclear-powered merchant ship, the Nuclear Ship Savannah will have an open house on Sunday May 17th as part of the Baltimore Port Alliance’s National Maritime Day commemoration. N.S. Savannah operated as a passenger/cargo ship from 1962-70, serving as a floating ambassador promoting the safe and peaceful use of nuclear power as part of President Eisenhower’s Atoms for Peace program. A ceremony will be held at 11:30am, and the ship will be open for tours from 10am to 3pm, where you can experience its mid-century modern interiors, engine and control rooms, and other spaces, just as passengers did during its operation. In addition, you can now tour the formerly off-limits containment vessel, which housed the nuclear reactor – truly a unique experience! 
As the decommissioning process comes to an end, Savannah is looking for a new home – so don’t miss your opportunity to visit now to learn more about the ship’s future, and how you can be a part of helping to find it a new home (maybe even in Baltimore)! 
The ship is located at 4601 Newgate Avenue, Pier 13 at the Canton Marine Terminal, at the same pier as the SS John Brown, which will also be open for tours. There will be offsite parking at Rukert Terminals Corporation, 2300 Broening Hwy (accessible from either Keith Ave of Broening Hwy), with shuttle service to the pier. Follow posted signs or get directions at the pier. Please note no open-toed shoes or heels, and the ship has limited accessibility for those with disabilities.
