And what does Birchmere do? Instead of considering the PLANNED arts and entertainment district in Hyattsville, they start looking in DC. As if people in Prince Georges County can’t appreciate good music. Who fills most of DC’s music venues? Hmmmmm. People from VA and MD. It is frustrating. Are they not aware of Prince Georges County?

The Post reported over the weekend that the Birchmere – Silver Spring discussions have come to an end, and Silver Spring is shopping for another, larger venue to come in. It also said that the Birchmere would continue to look for an expansion site elsewhere in the area…

John,
Good post. I agree that CP could support more of a music scene. CSPAC is great but sometimes I just want to kick back with a brew and listen to some music. I recently checked out on open mike night at College Perk and was impressed with the music there. Even the New Deal Cafe in nearby Greenbelt brings in some great artists. I’m sure that if the EastCampus scene is lively enough then some of the establishments will start bringing in music.
Very exciting times ahead and I for one am looking forward to it.

I think it’s worth mentioning that Santa Fe Cafe has had some success as a live music venue recently. They’ve had some big names like Everclear, Nine Days, Josh Kelley… these are acts that wouldn’t be out of place at somewhere like the 9:30 club or a similar place.
