ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The soothing sounds of Carr’s Beach along our Chesapeake Bay and the sound of mother nature is not what made Carr’s Beach famous.

It was the sounds of music that brought people here. It was the best America had to offer.

“From James Brown, to Sarah Vaughn, from Count Basey, Duke Ellington, to Little Richard, to Stevie. All the greats came to Annapolis,” Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley said.

So, to make this happen, Mayor Buckley had to find financing to purchase this property to make it a heritage park.
