ORIGINAL MUSIC

CALEB STINE

An independent, restless spirit, Caleb Stine flies his Americana music just under the mainstream radar. Logging miles on blue highways and grain-lined interstates, he plays his down to earth songs in dive bars, rock clubs and symphony halls. Passionate live shows and four self-released albums have gained Stine a grass-roots following that’s had the Baltimore Sun call him the “lynchpin of the Baltimore folk scene.” To learn more about Caleb’s music, visit www.calebstine.com.
