About this concert
Come see Martha Groves Perry & The MGP Band in their debut show at Baltic Kiss on Point Richmond! Built in 1904, the historic Baltic building in Richmond was many things over the years: saloon, city hall, funeral parlor, speakeasy, a “house of prostitution,” and, most recently, a spice shop. But in this latest reincarnation, the venue is an art-filled restaurant, bar, and entertainment venue, serving Southern comfort food with live music. It’s an honor to play this fabled venue!
Singer-songwriter Nate Walker, who performs under the moniker Redemption Breaking, will open. Nate’s distinctive vocals and the profound lyricism of his songwriting are not to be missed.
$10 cover, all ages
