Hagerstown’s Hub City Vinyl expanding its live music venue

HAGERSTOWN, Md. (DC News Now) — Watch out Nashville! A live venue in Hub City has really taken off since it opened three years ago, where Jed Duvall will be performing this weekend.

Hub City Vinyl may not be the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame, but it’s a venue Hagerstown has warmly embraced.

Duvall, a Paul McCartney tribute artist, is performing at Hub City Vinyl Saturday night.

“It says something about how much Hagerstown needs and wants live music,” Duvall said.

Duvall performs all around the mid-Atlantic region but loves Hub City Vinyl, in the heart of the city’s Arts 7 Entertainment District.

Calvin Staley has been with Hub City Vinyl since its inception.

“There just haven’t been a lot of options [in Hagerstown] to see a live show without having to go to Frederick or D.C.”   

Hub City Vinyl is expanding its live music venue. The project is expected to be completed this fall.

“We’ll have the ability to pull in larger bands from all over the country, maybe even all over the world,” Staley said. “Start to get even bigger crowds to come out.”

McCartney performer Duvall said Hub City Vinyl’s growth says something about Hagerstown’s appetite for live music.

“It shows how important a live music venue is to any community and how important Hub City Vinyl is to Hagerstown,” Duvall said.
