THE DIGEST

Huge local music news

Dublin 5 is playing at the Annapolis St. Patrick’s Day Parade in 2024. For anyone wondering why this is huge news, Dublin 5 announced before the 2023 Parade that they’d be taking a break after the final bow. They didn’t say how long. Turns out not too long. The band hasn’t said break time is over but they did announce that they’re playing St. Patrick’s Day 2024. They’re playing Shamrock the Dock on Sunday (3/17) and now that this news is out, we don’t expect tickets to last long. Get yours quick!

Anchors Aweigh Podcast

Episode #2 of our Anchors Aweigh Podcast is now live. Tune in to hear Pete Medhurst and Bill Wagner talk to Navy men’s soccer coach Tim O’Donohue and captain Zach Wagner. They also continue to dig into Navy football’s QB choice. Listen now anywhere you get your podcasts.

Help purchase school uniforms 👔

One school uniform package can cost $65. Between multiple kids and inevitable growth spurts, that adds up fast. That’s why the Assistance League of the Chesapeake is raising funds to purchase new uniforms; which they’ll distribute at 7 AACPS schools for free. You can help the cause and donate here.

LOCAL BUSINESS

J. Alexander’s to open in September

If you frequent Annapolis Town Center, you’ve probably noticed a Gordon Biersch-shaped hole at the traffic circle. The brewery closed for good in February, leaving only two original Town Center restaurants, PF Chang’s and Ziki Japanese Steakhouse. Its replacement — J. Alexander’s — is set to open in September. It’s known for its wood-fired cuisine and American classics. 1906 Towne Centre Blvd Suite 155 Annapolis, MD 21401.

Navy football heads to Ireland this week 🏈 đŸ‡ŽđŸ‡Ş

Over 39,000 fans from the US are flying to Ireland this week to see Navy football take on Notre Dame in a once-in-a-lifetime season opener.
