SALISBURY, Maryland — This summer, Salisbury comes alive with the launch of the Sound Bites Tour—a rotating series of live performances by some of the Eastern Shore’s most exciting local artists, hosted at your favorite breweries and eateries.
More than music. More than dinner. This is a music takeover.
The Sound Bites Tour blends vibrant sounds, bold flavors, and community spirit in a grassroots celebration of Salisbury’s local culture—all in support of the Maryland Folk Festival. Each stop on the tour is a one-night-only showcase featuring local music legends, rising stars, and unforgettable vibes at the city’s top spots for food and drink. A portion of all proceeds benefits the Maryland Folk Festival, helping to keep it free and full of flavor.
“Looking forward to the idea of changing venues, and to seeing added support for our great restaurants and retailers as an added benefit of each event taking us to different places. Come on out for a great time!”
—Mayor Randy Taylor
