In Baltimore, there are a number of festivals and concerts, along with free fun for the entire family. Let’s make some plans.

Micah E. Wood

Baltimore multihyphenate Micah E. Wood performs at Current Space’s Garden Bar to celebrate the release of his third full-length album, “You, Me, the Reign.”

The singer, songwriter and producer aimed to “create groove-based music that says something of importance, trying to bring love and compassion as much as possible,” he told me last week outside a Charles Village café. “Also, just generally, I’m in my ‘wife guy’ era.”

Check out the new songs live (like the hypnotic chillwave groove of “Melted Away”), along with performances by Eyas, The Beach People and Cadeem LaMarr.

Richard Ayodeji Ikhide

The London-based artist’s solo exhibition “Tales From Future Past” channels a breadth of influences such as Japanese manga and the Romantic-era poet and painter William Blake.
