Live music venue
RAMS HEAD ON STAGE
33 West St., Annapolis, 410-268-4545, ramsheadonstage.com
When Rams Head On Stage opened in 1997, it was “kind of the first of its kind” in the area,
said Kris Stevens, the vice president of programming for Rams Head Presents. Since then,
the live performance venue has attracted a long list of acts including the folk rock duo Indigo
Girls, musician Gregg Allman, singer and guitarist David Crosby, comedian Dave Attell and
the band Lake Street Dive.
“That’s the beauty of offering so much diversity in our programming, is that there’s
something for everybody,” Stevens said.
The venue seats over 300 for performances from musicians and comedians, said Laura Price,
the director of marketing and ticketing for Rams Head Presents. Stevens said there are shows
nearly every night of the week, with matinees on Saturdays and Sundays.
The space is intimate, Price said, and event-goers can dine and drink during the shows.
“Artists love playing here,” Stevens said. Even if they initially think the venue feels small,
“within a few songs, they’ll be telling the audience, ‘I’d forgotten how great it feels to be this
close to my fans and to be in this sort of atmosphere.’ ”
