Music
"Baltimore Chop Books has regular musical guests and it's a great place to see some great music. One couple brought their infant daughter and it was entirely appropriate. Others in the crowd ranged from 20s to maybe 60s. While an artist sketched the performance, others discussed baseball and news during the break. There was even a dog at the show! It was the kind of event where there were no barriers between people other than those brought with you (and even some of those were likely broken down). The place just had a real sense of human community. Add the music and it probably can't be beat."

Don't search for Britney here. If all your feelings, all your fears, were confirmed with Britney Spears (*apologies to Elizabeth Cook and her great new song), don't worry - our music selection is everything we are - eclectic and awesome with a focus on local musicians (contact us please) like Avec, Karmella's Game, Stupid Hero and Flying Eyes, and incredible national bands and artists from Nashville and beyond that may not get the attention they deserve. But you deserve to know about all of them.

About me: The name is changed and we're on the move - 30 West North Avenue at Maryland.
Come visit the amazing Station North Arts District!
Baltimore Magazine named our old store, Baltimore Chop one of its 50 Favorite Stores and we're proud to receive such an honor after just opening the store in April 2007.
Here's what they had to say:
"Kooky, yet lovable - put(s) the charm in Charm City...this is no ordinary bookstore...truly fabulous coffee...hip, high-energy...unusual gifts...and Baltimore's only full line of the almost impossibly delicious MarieBelle chocolates."
Before that, Baltimore Magazine named us the Best In-Store Performance Venue in the city in its 2007 Best of Baltimore issue.
"...brews a strong cup of coffee and stocks a solid selection of fiction and nonfiction...the shop also hosts an impressive performance series...in a cozy, intimate setting."
Who I'd like to meet: Book lovers. Music lovers. Art lovers. You get the idea...
Nashville recording artist Elizabeth Cook met dozens of you at her in-store performance and came away with some great thoughts on the store. Read more in her Rave Reviews blog above, but here's a little bit of what she had to say:
"(A) cubbyhole of cool, haven of hip, gangplank of groove...the most extraordinary, eclectic book selection ever ever ever...You'll feel smarter just sitting around staring at the titles...a colorful wonderland...It's unlike any bookshop I've been in...it's the heart of the people running the Chop that makes it most special...It's a place where around every corner and on every shelf, you get a laugh, a warm fuzzy feeling, an ooh, an ahhh, a place where you can truly expect the unexpected."

We have a sneak preview of the new album (Produced by Malcolm Burn, Mastered by Greg Calbi) up for 5 days only… and it can be bought within the next 5 days only!
