The Maryland Crabs is a podcast based in Annapolis Maryland which was launched in September 2016 after, quite literally years of hemming and hawing.  After a few false starts, many aborted concepts, we just took the plunge, whipped out the credit cards and lit Amazon on fire with equipment orders. And here we are!

This podcast is not about interviews. It’s about topics and conversations of interest to Marylanders!

We are not going to shy away from controversy or discomfort. Valuable conversations can emerge from them. We will not be adversarial for the sake of being adversarial, but you can expect some heated exchanges between Tim and John and Guests–or any combination of those.

About Guests–we're going to have plenty of them! Some will be local or regional in nature--others more broad.

And, we may even take this show on the road. Some night, you might find us propped on a bar stool at the Ebb Tide..or worse!

This is a Crabcake from The Maryland Crabs!  What is a Crabcake? Well, it's a very short snippet of something you need to know. It might be 5 minutes long..or it might be 20.  In any event, enjoy your Maryland Crabcake! 

Peter Rivera. The name may may not come to you, but the voice will. Peter was the soulful singer of Rare Earth who were topping the charts for Motown Records in the 70s. On July 23rd, he brings the funk, rock, and soul to Rams Head On Stage.

We spoke with Peter and learned a bit about the past as well as his current tour. We learned how when Sly and the Family Stone presents an opportunity--you take it. And how Bob Seeger used to come check out their shows in the clubs of Detroit!

You can learn more about Peter..and check out his new CD, get his book, etc. on his website - Peter Rivera.

Tickets are still available for Peter's 7:30pm show on July 23, 2017 at Rams Head On Stage.
