The Flying Vees is a bonafide supergroup composed of four seasoned musicians of varied backgrounds. Brechyn Chace (vocals), Shannon Vasile (vocals), Caitlin Ramsey (keys), and Hannah Taylor (guitar/vocals) joined forces in 2020 to create their unique brand of wry, gothic, harmony-heavy Americana. Lovers of punk, country, folk, and maudlin, sad-girl caterwauling will be equally at home at a The Flying Vees show. In short, they are just four mighty Vees attempting the daring and death-defying feat of trying to sing and swear their way through life and into your heart.emotional storytelling.

Mind your step! Construction of the rain and pollinator gardens has officially begun, thanks to our friends at the Gunpowder Valley Conservancy. The new gardens will help promote habitats for native wildlife, as well as cool and reduce pollution in the water before it enters the Charles Run stream.
