Charm City Yodeller – Sunday, July 26, 2026

July 26, 2026

Sunday, July 26, 2026 · Baltimore's Vibes, 7 Days a Week

Sunday means slow mornings and a stacked night — Branford Marsalis playing two shows at Keystone Korner, a five-band bill Upstairs at the Ottobar, Fluid Movement's water ballet saving the Domino Sugar Factory from Lord Natty Boh (twice), and the O's taking on the Braves in the afternoon sun. Grab coffee, hit the farmers market, let the day build. 30 things to do, one very good excuse to skip the couch. Let's get into it.

“Be grateful for luck. Pay the thunder no mind — listen to the birds. And don’t hate nobody.” — Eubie Blake

Branford Marsalis Quartet @ Keystone Korner Baltimore

5 PM & 8 PM · Keystone Korner Baltimore · $75–$85

NEA Jazz Master Branford Marsalis brings his quartet to one of Baltimore's most intimate rooms tonight, two shows only — the early set may already be gone. This is the kind of booking that reminds you Baltimore's jazz scene punches miles above its weight class: a saxophonist who's played with Sting and scored Spike Lee films, four feet from your table. If you only leave the house once this week, make it for this.
