Yes, that’s right, The Jazz Perpetrators will be purveying their “high spirited, low volume” jam at both Smashing Grapes venues — first on Saturday, April 9th at their Annapolis location and then the following weekend on Saturday, April 16th, at their Gambrills location! Both shows will be from 9 PM to 12 AM and The Perps will be in their quartet format for that extra percussion spice!

The Smashing Grapes locations are in Annapolis at 177 Jennifer Road, 21401 and Gambrills at 2383 Brandermill Blvd, 21054.

So, come on out and visit with the guys at either or BOTH locations to ring in this Spring and sample the fruit of the vine – you’ll be glad you did!

Yes, it is almost Spring and The Perps are on the move!

The Jazz Perpetrators are getting geared up for warmer weather, green grass and longer days by appearing in their trio format at Smashing Grapes in Gambrills this Saturday, March 12th, from 9 pm to 12 am. So, make an exception and come out past your bedtime to make merry with the guys and mellow out with some of their cool “high spirited, low volume” smoothness!

February’s a mess. It’s short, it’s cold, the days are gray and damp (lots of precipitation, liquid or solid – sometimes both in the same day), and, hey, have you taken down those Christmas lights yet? Generally not much to get excited about.

But when it comes to wine, women and song, Valentine’s Day and the Jazz Perpetrators are here to save the day. Keep the love light burning with a relaxing pre-Valentine’s Day outing this weekend (Feb. 13) at the Annapolis Blackwall Hitch’s popular Sunday brunch. The Perps and their patented “high spirits/low volume” music combine with the Hitch’s superb cuisine to create the perfect atmosphere to wrap up your weekend. The music starts at 10am and runs until 2pm. As with all previous performances at the Hitch, this will be an all-instrumental appearance.

Blackwall Hitch is located in Eastport, near the Annapolis city dock and just over the Spa Creek bridge at 400 Sixth Street. For more information on the Blackwall Hitch, please see their website: https://www.blackwallhitchannapolis.com/
