Latin hangouts....is there such a thing?

The times I have been out in Frederick, and it must be either my luck or lack of hopping around, but I have not noticed any bands playing other cultural music. I am talking live bands. Can someone tell me otherwise? If you do know of them, tell me who they are?

Las time I was there I noticed a sign for live country music which was strange. If you ask they will let you know though, they probably still do some special nights every now and then.

I think you need to get out of Frederick for that sort of entertainment however. Fusion and another local bar have Latin night but they don't get busy until late and it is with a DJ, not live. We tend to stick to latin house-parties ourselves.; ▶ Reply to This

Frederick has a long history of NOT being cultural. It's really a shame but the truth. Maybe before I pass on you MIGHT see something to resemble cultural diversity.

Good luck in your search.

I'm sure the Mariache restaurant that just opened will have some live music at times. I'll have to go eat there and gett the scoop.; ▶ Reply to This

Ranchero music? Nada. Talking to the musicians from the area ... they say go to DC and Baltimore for this stuff. The word is the clubs in Frederick don't want to pay for good musicians. They would rather get a local young band for $200 than a group that will cost them $2000. Even Mariachis cost good money and unless the establishment is willing to pay them they won't book them. That's what I have found out so far but my search isn't over yet.; ▶ Reply to This

There was a live salsa performance at Pagea too.
Salsa will arrive in Frederick soon enough; when there is enough demand to support the expense; ▶ Reply to This
