    Geffery B. Stewart 1347 Gorsuch Ave Baltimore, Maryland 21218 443.454.1875 [email protected] Summary/Bio My name is Geffery Stewart. I was born in 1985 in Baltimore, MD. I was raised in Pasadena, MD where I attended public school. I am a self taught musician specializing in string instruments, mainly guitar, banjo, violin/fiddle, and mandolin. With the influence of my parents, I came obsessed with music of all kinds at a very young age. In my elementary school years, I discovered I had a keen ear and began singing along with music I heard at home and in church. At age 10, I began teaching myself guitar, with tuning and some chording assistance from my father. I was soon able to tune by ear. I worked hard at my 3 first chords, and played incessantly. More musical influence from my father began to influence my direction, and obsession such as Experimental, Jazz, Punk Rock, Reggae, Folk, Bluegrass, Hip Hop and more, but it was the Blues that grabbed my attention. My life was altered after hearing the Blues/Gospel of Blind Willie Johnson. Country blues and pre-war American music became a full time passion around age 15. The other pivotal musical experience was hearing John Coltrane at some point in Middle School. This opened my ears and mind to the possibilities of improvisation. At this time I was attempting to translate some of these concepts that I was hearing in country blues, punk, and jazz onto electric guitar. I was trying to comprehend using alternate tunings, using a slide, and eventually alternating bass fingerpicking from various American Folk Music.

  • History of Fairfax City

    History of Fairfax City

    HISTORY OF FAIRFAX CITY The City of Fairfax began as the Town of Providence in 1805, a community built around the Fairfax County Courthouse. Completed in 1800 at the corner of Little River Turnpike and Ox Road, the area was a crossroads of conflict during the American Civil War with hardships and disrupted lives for everyone. From a crossroads of conflict, the area became a crossroads of commerce in the late nineteenth century when the dairy industry propelled economic rebirth and the building of schools, churches, homes, barns, and businesses and in 1874 the Town of Providence officially became the Town of Fairfax. The early 20th century ushered in a myriad of technological and transportation changes and the emergence of civic organizations, sports clubs, a Town police unit, and a volunteer fire company. World War II spurred rapid growth across the region in housing, business ventures, and population and Fairfax quickly changed from a rural to a suburban community. The Town of Fairfax deeded a 150-acre tract of land in 1959 to the University of Virginia to establish a permanent home for what is now George Mason University. In 1961, the Town of Fairfax was incorporated as the independent City of Fairfax and in 1962 a new City Hall was completed. Rich in history and heritage, residents and visitors enjoy a small-town atmosphere and an abundance of cultural and recreational pursuits in the midst of a bustling metropolitan area. As the City's first mayor, John C. Wood said in 1962 - "Fairfax has a wonderful past and present and an even greater future." HOW DID THE JULY 4TH CELEBRATION BEGIN IN FAIRFAX CITY? Fairfax City’s Independence Day Parade and Fireworks began in 1967 and was organized by the Delta Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority.

This was a year of “ups” and a very notable “down” for the Downtown Columbia Arts and Culture Commission. The year’s low point came at the beginning—January 13th, when the iconic roof of Merriweather Post Pavilion collapsed while being raised as part of the venue’s ongoing renovation project. This was unexpected, to say the least, but we were incredibly fortunate that there were no injuries and little ancillary damage to the property as a result of this accident. Thanks to the dedicated team at Merriweather and with our contractor, Costello Construction of Maryland, the roof was rebuilt in time for the season to start. The show must go on, and it did. As owners of this iconic amphitheater since 2016, the Downtown Columbia Arts and Culture Commission has developed expertise and partnerships to overcome the challenges big and small that arise. The roof collapse tested us, but now, nearly a year later, we see this test in the same way that we see others: As a reminder that our work as stewards of Merriweather Post Pavilion must be our main priority.
  • Guitar and Lute Music

    Guitar and Lute Music

    SOLITARY REFINEMENT Music for Lute, Vihuela and Guitar Welcome to the intimate, colourful and versatile world of music for lute and guitar, instruments with an ancestry tracing back thousands of years and a fascinating repertoire reflecting the physical and social development of the instrument over the past five centuries. The music represented in the following pages traces the instrument’s journey from the refinements of the early sixteenth century to the more cutting-edge characteristics it has inspired from 20th-century composers. Collectors wishing to assemble recordings by composer will find noted representatives of successive historical periods, including the English Renaissance composer John Dowland, German baroque master Silvius Leopold Weiss, the Italian classical style of Mauro Giuliani, 19th-century Spanish greats Fernando Sor and Francisco Tárrega, plus a modern international spread of names including Joaquín Rodrigo and Leo Brouwer. There are also regional collections representative of guitar music not only from the instrument’s native Spain, but also from South American countries closely associated with the development of the instrument’s profile in the 20th century – Brazil, Argentina and Chile, for example – plus gems from Australia and Britain. Alternatively, the instrument’s range of technical and expressive capabilities can be sampled by choosing from an extensive set of solo recitals by an international roster of distinguished performers, not least in our highly successful and ever-expanding Guitar Laureate Series. Complementing the instrument’s image as a solitary instrument are recordings of ensemble works for two and three guitars, for guitar and piano, and Boccherini’s quintets for guitar and string quartet.
