Show Notes

In this episode of The Truth in This Art, I’m joined by returning guests Micah E. Wood and Christopher J. Chester to discuss their latest project, Scene Seen: Baltimore Band Portraits 2016–2024. This 300-page book features over 200 stunning portraits of 85 bands, capturing the heart of Baltimore’s vibrant music scene and midtown neighborhoods.

We talk about their two-year journey creating this tribute to Baltimore’s creative resilience, the collaborative process, and the stories behind the images. Scene Seen is more than a book—it’s an archive celebrating the people, places, and culture that make Baltimore unforgettable.
