Today, the Fell’s Point Fun Festival released its music line-up for the 57th annual community event – the largest in Baltimore. Fifteen diverse music groups will perform during the three day event the first weekend of October.
This year’s headliner, Brittney Spencer will perform on Saturday, October 7th. Since her breakout single “Sober & Skinny” was released in 2021, the Baltimore native has been breaking through the country music genre.
Last year, Spencer was nominated by the CMT Music Awards, showcasing one example of many in which the artist has broken the genre’s historical molds.
Additionally, she’s performed alongside legends – Lauryn Hill, Willie Nelson, Bobby Weir, and Jason Isabell just to name a few.
When Spencer is not making her beautiful, powerful music, she's an impactful advocate for many causes impacting Baltimoreans. She’s been an active supporter of organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, the Women's March, CARE.
