Lisa Loeb
Merriweather Post Pavilion — Columbia, MD

Lisa Loeb came through Baltimore in December 2018 at Gordon Center for Performing Arts with the kind of setlist that rewarded people who'd actually paid attention to her catalog. She opened with "No Fairy Tale" and "Weak Day," songs that sit comfortably outside the shadow of "Stay (I Missed You)," which she saved for the middle of the set. The show had a particular warmth to it—she tucked in "Moon Star Pie (It's Gonna Be Alright)" and "I Have a Little Dreidel" alongside deeper cuts like "Sandalwood" and "The Disappointing Pancake," closing out with "Dream a Little Dream of Me." It was the kind of performance that suggested Loeb's always had more interesting things to say than one 1994 hit.

Baltimore's indie and alternative music scene has always had a soft spot for artists like Loeb—thoughtful singer-songwriters who don't need stadium production to land. The city's venues have hosted countless acoustic-leaning acts and chamber pop performers over the years, creating an audience that appreciates introspection and lyrical depth. Loeb fits that sensibility: cerebral, understated, and capable of making a guitar and a steady voice feel like enough.

Stay in Canton or Federal Hill—both neighborhoods have the restaurants and bars worth spending time in. Try Alma Cocina for Peruvian fare or Pabu for Japanese if you want something substantial before the show. Walk around the Inner Harbor, grab coffee at a local roaster. The Walters Art Museum is genuinely excellent and free. Check out what's at The Lyric or Hippodrome if there's live music the nights before or after. Baltimore's best asset is that it doesn't feel overly polished—the authenticity matches the vibe of a band like Journey.
