Rams Head The Blog

Dubbed the “Best Beatles Tribute on Earth”, compliments of Rolling Stone Magazine, 1964 The Tribute is heading to Annapolis August 1st.

Help! Are you skeptical of the tribute cover bands? I know I am… but from me to you, I’d say you can trust Rolling Stone’s judgement eight days a week. What seperates 1964 from other Beatles tributes is their ability to authentically recreate the live Beatles experience (reminds me of Dark Star Orchestra’s commitment to recreating the Grateful Dead). At most tribute concerts I close my eyes and pretend the music is the original… but not with 1964. Their instruments, costumes, hair, and even stage banter will have you believing its the Beatles.

So round up your Beatle fanatic friends, flashback, and let 1964 please please you because the Rams Head On Stage will still need you and will still feed you when you’re 64.

Congratulations Ryan Bingham, on winning your first Oscar! Crazy Heart’s ‘The Weary Kind’ was honored by the academy as the Best Original Song of the year. Annapolis loved you when, and loves to watch you receive the recognition that you deserve.

And thank you 103.1 WRNR for bringing this shining talent to Rams Head On Stage for one of our favorite Private Artist Showcases… seems like just yesterday:

The Rams Head Tavern and Old Dominion Brewing Company are pleased to announce the five course beer dinner on Thursday, March 4th, 2010 from 7pm-9pm.       

All dishes will be paired with beers from one of the most acclaimed craft breweries in the Mid-Atlantic, Old Dominion Brewing Co. Founded in Ashburn, VA in 1989 and now brewed in Dover, Delaware.

This particular evening will feature 5 of Dominions craft beers….from the bold and spicy Hop Mountain Pale Ale to the rich, warm Oak Barrel Stout. In an effort to perfectly pair these various hops and malts with the appropriate dish, Chef John “J J” Jennings has designed a menu that combines both local favorites and traditional classics.

Spend a winter evening tantalizing your taste buds with one of Rams Head’s semi-annual beer dinners. “Our first beer dinner was a huge success. We sold out the event quickly and everyone highly enjoyed the evening” says Rams Head Tavern General Manager, Mark Colberg.

Are you tired of the snow like we are? Are you starting to get cabin fever, like I am? Well, Rams Head Restaurants NEVER closes. Rams Head is open Rain, Shine, Sleet, or Snow! We have everything from Fordham Beers, Irish coffee, and yummy treats to fill you up from all of that shoveling.

Rams Head Tavern even has a wacky promotion called,” Polar Bear Club”. Rams Head Tavern Annapolis we’ll be serving our happy hour specials every time the temperature dips below 32 degrees! That’s right friends! $2.50 Drafts, House Wines and Rail Drinks in the Beer Garden every time Annapolis freezes. So combat the cold by warming your bones with cheap brews and heat lamps in the Rams Head Tavern’s Beer Garden. Keep your peepers open for our Arctic Alert light. Our management and staff will be watching the thermometer ever so closely. Every time that that mercury dips to 32 degrees or below, the Arctic Alert will be lit and happy hour prices will be honored on the patio until it warms… or until the doors close… which ever comes first.* Drinks must be bought and consumed on the patio for happy hour pricing!

Or, check out the ‘cold’ Speedo runners from this weekend at Rams Head Tavern! I give these people made kudos for wearing Speedo’s in the winter blizzard! But, they did stop by the Tavern to warm up with a Fordham Beer! Pretty good idea if you ask me. You never know what you will see from the Rams Head Tavern bar…..

But, like I said… if you’ve been stuck in the house for days because of snow, Rams Head brings some great events that will gear you away from the house. Starting this Saturday, February 13th at Rams Head Shore House will be the 1st of many Harley Davidson Bike Nights. Harley Davidson of Annapolis will bring a beautiful Harley Bike for the customers to take pictures on, prizes/ contest 15 mins before the band (Mike Waskey) plays and also during the band breaks. Event: Harley Davidson Bike Night, Saturday Feb.13th, 2010 | 7:30pm-12am

If you don’t ride bikes, but love movies! I highly recommend coming to Rams Head On Stage this Saturday, February 13th for the movie screening of the independent movie,‘ New York Lately’. Director Gary King of New York City and Cast of the movie will be flying to Annapolis for a special appearance at the NEW YORK LATELY showing. Mr. King and Cast will be taking questions from the audience after the film.

NEW YORK LATELY is a feature film drama following multiple characters as they weave through their daily lives struggling to find happiness. However, happiness to each of them is defined differently. Using New York as the backdrop, writer/director Gary King interweaves several unrelated tales into a larger tapestry that not only pulls viewers into these intimate day-to-day lives, but also draws on those interactions to show how we are not all that different from each other.

Polar Bear Club: “How the bold ‘bear’ the cold”

That’s right friends! $2.50 Drafts, House Wines and Rail Drinks in the Beer Garden everytime Annapolis freezes. Beginning today, January 27th, combat the cold by warming your bones with cheap brews and heat lamps in the Rams Head Tavern’s Beer Garden. Keep your peepers open for our Arctic Alert light. Our managment and staff will be watching the thermometer ever so closely. Every time that that mercury dips to 32 degrees or below, the Arctic Alert will be lit and happy hour prices will be honored on the patio until it warms… or until the doors close… which ever comes first.

Yeah, winter stinks and can’t end soon enough. But until it does we’ll just have to grin and “bear” it (sorry, I couldn’t help myself) by running the Polar Bear Club promotion from open to close for the rest of the season. Cool? (sorry, again… couldn’t help it)
