Fine Tuned Presents: Skribe & Anthony Frijia
2026-02-21 18:00 - 23:00 | Little Baker Chapel, 200 W Main Street, Westminster, 21157, United States
About Skribe:
“Skribe plays an oil can called a canjo-zookie. It’s an eight-string guitar with a biting, blues-y rasp. Skribe’s got the voice (and the old-school Cadillac) to match. Accompanying himself on the suitcase-kick and hi-hat, Skribe’s “M.I.Y.” is a barn-burning roots number.”
– Ben Naddaff-Hafrey NPR
You may have recently seen Skribe supporting G. Love & Special Sauce, Darius Rucker, Jon Cleary, Lucy Dacus, Jake Clemons (of the E Street Band), Patrick Sweaney, Langhorne Slim, Lydia Loveless, Shovels & Rope, Samantha Fish, Grizfolk, Joe Pug, The Last Bandoleros, Zach Deputy, Suitcase Junket, and Possessed By Paul James…
About Anthony Frijia:
Anthony Frijia has mastered the art of creating live shows that feel more like intimate conversations than performances.
Recently voted “Baltimore’s Best Local Artist” in the Baltimore Reader’s Poll, he knows it’s these intimate conversations to which he owes all of his success as an artist.
Fusing folk, blues, and country influences, Frijia’s lyrically-driven songwriting has captivated audiences along the east coast and across the country as a touring artist, drawing comparisons to Bob Dylan, Todd Snider, and Tyler Childers. Anthony has released four studio records- each showing his evolution as both a songwriter and as a touring artist. His knack for quick wit and a great lyric have never been more evident than on his most-recent, and first-ever, live release, “The Snuggery Sessions (Live)”, recorded in Williamsport, MD to end his solo cross-country tour, and released in October 2025.

There are an estimated 60 Revolutionary War Patriots buried in Carroll County across several cemeteries. Many of these are known but many more are likely lost to history. It is important to remember our Patriot ancestors. This talk will provide an overview of family cemeteries, church cemeteries, and town cemeteries located in the county and discuss Patriots buried there.
More importantly as we approach America’s 250th there are cemeteries that are known to be lost or in danger of being lost. Preservation of these Patriot ancestors’ graves is an important part of our American heritage and a sacred duty to keep their memory alive.
