Summer brings a favored tradition to Baltimore: free outdoor movies on cool summer nights. From Federal Hill and Fells Point downtown to the Johns Hopkins campus and Wyman Park Dell up north, there are half a dozen different film series throughout town.
Nalani and Sarina Bolton are a singer-songwriter duo from Delaware. They are immensely talented and combine fantastic vocals with thoughtful lyrics. Their guitar, piano and tambourine skills bring it home to create a truly harmonious tone. Loyola was lucky enough to be graced with their presence this year. Baltimore is going to be lucky enough to welcome Nalani and Sarina again this summer at Honfest. The two will be performing at WLOY’s stage on June 14th. Listen to their music on Spotify and learn more about them on their website: http://www.nalanisarina.com/.
