High Zero Festival 2016 September 15-18th: Save The Date!

[John Berndt]

Folks--

Following on the heels of Fields Fest, another great Baltimore festival is on the horizon... High Zero! September 15-18th shows each night at 7:30 and a matinee at 1PM on Saturday, all at Theatre Project, 45 West Preston Street. Exactly the same, always different, completely crazy and sane at the same time.

Now in its 18th (!) year, the festival is a living organism that more or less defines "out music" in it's bleeding, edge, mixing an equal measure of Baltimore greatness with performers from around the world in all-new collaborations. The level of unexpected music and inspiration is always high, and there is quite a bit of "we really don't know if this is good or bad" which for us is the ultimate kind of good.
