- Keystone Korner's three Peabody nights are free with a ticket, the ticket fee extra, doors at 5. Tuesday was to be led by Hubert Laws; the club's ticket page says he will not perform, for medical reasons, and the Peabody Graduate Jazz Ensemble plays on.
- Sold out: Built to Spill at Union Craft Brewing on Thursday, whose listing adds that season passes will not be accepted, and the Pendry's Step Up night on Wednesday.
- The Ottobar, Nevermore Hall and Baltimore Soundstage publish no ticket prices on their own pages; their tickets sell through Etix and Ticketmaster.
