The Eastport Oyster Boys are turning 30, and if you’ve lived anywhere near Annapolis for more than 5 minutes, you’ve probably heard their “music and mirth” drifting across the water at least once.

Today, Kevin Brooks — the band’s lead troubadour and chief storyteller — joins us to talk about three decades of Chesapeake Bay songs, Eastport legends, and how the Oyster Boys became the self-appointed (and officially appointed) Musical Goodwill Ambassadors for the City of Annapolis and the Maritime Republic of Eastport. We dig into the band’s origin story, the “good hat, good dog, good boat” philosophy, and why the Oyster Boys have always mixed laughs with a little love for the Bay and the culture that surrounds it.

We also preview the big 30th anniversary “Shuck It Tour Celebration” show at Maryland Hall on March 22, featuring founding member and Annapolis Poet Laureate Jeff Holland, plus a lineup of Oyster Boys alumni musicians. Proceeds benefit Annapolis Musicians For Musicians, which provides scholarships and emergency support for local working artists — so it’s a party with a purpose. We cover tickets, the VIP option, and the post-concert reception, and Kevin shares what fans can expect when the band hits the stage for this hometown milestone.

If you want Eastport stories, Chesapeake music, and a reminder that not everything in the world has to be taken so seriously — this one delivers.
