Formed in Baltimore, Maryland – the Union consists of a group of likeminded musicians whose goal is simple – to have their music heard. Late one night, various bands began discussing how they could better promote themselves – the solution was clear – instead of each band promoting themselves individually, it was decided that we would promote ourselves as a group – thus expanding our fan bases. Originally consisting of four bands, the Union has been consistently increasing its numbers and also features various out of state bands. Monthly Union shows are held at Macs the Club in Essex, Maryland and typically feature three Union bands and a non-Union affiliate act that is interested in membership.
