Tae & The Neighborly
06/22/2025 to 06/22/2025
10221 Wincopin Cir, Columbia, MD 21044This Wisconsin based Soul-pop R&B group, Tae & The Neighborly, found themselves playing music together in a very unconventional way. They were all neighbors, each one living alone on one floor of a five-story flat. Cake baking is a shared passion of the five-member group, but in the sugar shortages early in the 2020 pandemic, they found themselves so continually knocking on each other's doors. It wasn’t before long that the group began to write and perform together across the nation. See them perform as part of the Free LakeFest Weekend presented by the Merriweather Arts and Culture Center in collaboration with the Columbia Festival of the Arts, June 20-22, at the Downtown Columbia Lakefront.
