The Arc of Baltimore is very near and dear to my heart for many reasons. One being the amount of energy, time, and love that goes into each and every client from the staff, is mind blowing. The life that this organization gives to those in need, who one their own would never know what living really is, is amazing. The second reason is, My Uncle, Aunt, and Brother in Law all work everyday to make sure this organization provides this love and care by overseeing it’s operations.

Do yourself a favor, come out and see for yourself what this local, non-profit organization is doing to better the community, and it’s people on Saturday, September 10th at 5pm.

A good friend of mine  Bill Bahen started a great organization a few years ago in NYC to support under privileged kids who would never dream of learning to sail. He found boats, a dock, and a very supportive board of directors and taught these kids the fundamentals of sailing, while channeling their energy and focus in a positivedirection. This is a great organization and deserves your support. We are so very excited to be a part of this years Rock The Dock Benefit.  I have seen the location first hand, and let me tell you it is like nothing you have ever seen or floated on…I’ll leave it at that. Come out and see for yourself!

 We have a great line up for the show including: Cris Jacobs on guitar, and Pat McAvinue on fiddle!!

We Hope to see you there,

Ed

Here’s what RAYSREALM had to say about out latest record:

First song in, Ed Hough’s vocals begin telling of his longing for “Sweet Amanda” over an upbeat, infectious melody and I’m hooked already.

Goes on to say…

In all, pulling “A Few More Miles” out of that ocean of local CD’s a few weeks back was a shot in the dark… The only thing that’s left is for me to check these guys out live sometime, because I’m sure they can lay it down like nobody’s business. Highly recommended!
