ANNAPOLIS â The Kelly Bell Band is performing two shows on Saturday, May 22, at Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis â an all-ages show at 3 p.m. and a 21-and-up show at 8 p.m.
Blues Revue Magazine describes the Kelly Bell Band (KBB) as âAmong the most genre-expanding acts on todayâs blues scene. Who else can combine elements of hip-hop, funk, and blues-electrified here.â
Originally formed as the back-up band for rock and roll pioneer, Bo Diddley, KBB has been touring the world ever since, entertaining fans in Japan, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cuba, Germany and more. The band has won two prestigious Maryland Music Awards, including âBest Blues Band.â In 2018 they were nominated for âMusic Iconâ. KBB has been voted âBest Blues Bandâ in the Mid Atlantic Region (12 years in a row), and was recently named âBest Bandâ by Baltimore Style Magazine.
A Colorado Springs-based team of gifted middle- and high-school students recently defeated dozens of competitors to win a statewide science competition.
Homeschool Science Colorado, which is comprised entirely of homeschool students, won both the high school and middle school divisions of the state’s Science Olympiad tournament. It was the first victory in either division for a Colorado Springs-based team since 2011, when Cheyenne Mountain High School took the state title.
Established in 1984, the Science Olympiad applies science-based principles and techniques to competitive events.
It is not a science fair. It’s more of an Olympics of the mind, in which critical thinking and problem solving take the place of running, jumping and throwing.
