Warm Wednesdays was established over six years ago by a group of men who recognized the immense talent in Baltimore City. Warm Wednesdays has showcased both seasoned professionals and open-mic "virgins" by providing a nurturing atmosphere for some of Baltimore's best. The venue began with only 6 audience members. It has grown to become the largest and longest running weekly open-mic venue in Baltimore. Its original hosts, Walter Maxfield Jones and The Bassman worked to create a welcoming atmosphere that would afford local and visiting artists the opportunity to "speak." Many of Baltimore's greats have had defining moments on the Warm Wednesdays' stage. We have been fortunate to have featured many established artists such as Lamar Hill, Queen Sheeba, Talaam Acey, Archie the Messenger, Raheim DeVaughn, Bilal Salaam, and The 5thL. In Spring 2005, The Bassman so graciously "passed the mic" to a member of the Warm Wednesdays family, Rebecca Dupas. Today, Warm Wednesdays continues to provide a stepping ground and a haven for up-and-coming artists. Warm "Wednesdays is all about love." Join us every Wednesday at 830 Guilford Avenue in Baltimore Md. See the flyer for contact information.One of the venue's unique features is the Warm Wednesdays' afterparty, hosted by DJ Franchise and Baltimore's own djlilmic. For six years, we've been "pushing back the tables and chairs" after the open-mic portion of the evening to rock to the sounds of our in-house DJs. For bookings, send your request to
