Milkshake

The bold type and fluorescent images of Baltimore’s Globe Poster Company were great advertising for touring bands back in the heyday of R & B.  Now, to the creators’ surprise, they’re considered works of art.  The Globe Poster collection has been purchased by MICA, and we’ll drop in there to talk with longtime Globe shop operators Bob & Frank Cicero 

Milkshake first came together back in 2004, when members of the indie band “Love Riot” found themselves on the verge of parenthood.  What began as an experiment – a way to continue playing music together while also beginning to raise families – turned into a long range plan.

Susan Allenback, the Hometown Tourist, returns to share her latest explorations of the Free State. This hour, she takes us to two tucked-away historic Maryland towns: Frostburg and Brunswick. We’ll explore the charms of both and she’ll tell us why you should add them to your own hometown tourist itinerary. Then, just in time for Valentine’s Day: Maryland chocolatiers and where you can get the best local sweets for your sweetie. And, a special treat to round out the hour: a visit from the Grammy-nominated Baltimore-based kids rock band Milkshake.
