High Street Communion Returns to Rockwell Brewery!
High Street Communion is back at Rockwell Brewery on March 21 from 7–10 PM for a night of high-energy American rock and roll you won’t want to miss.
Born out of the Hagerstown music scene, High Street Communion blends the spirit of classic rock, soul, country, and Americana into a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. Expect soaring guitars, driving grooves, and a mix of crowd-favorite sing-along classics alongside original songs packed with heart and storytelling.
Our shows are built for movement—big riffs, soulful melodies, and the kind of live energy that turns a brewery into a full-on rock and roll experience.
Grab your tickets, bring some friends, and come ready to move. When High Street Communion takes the stage, sitting down simply isn’t an option.
100% of the Ticket Sales go straight to band!
You are supporting Local, Live Music and helping keep it alive and thrive
See you at the show! You are going to have a ball!

Brewed onsite in historic Downtown Frederick, MD
Co-owners Paul Tinney and Matt Thrasher were home-brewing buddies long before Rockwell opened its doors in March 2017. Inspired by the beers they were making and the budding craft brewery scene in Frederick, Rockwell Brewery was born. The name is an ode to Tinney’s background as a designer of acoustic guitars and creating a theme of blending artisan work in craft beer and music.
Head Brewer, Scott McKernon, started brewing at home back in the early 90s out of necessity due to a lack of good beer available. With a background in Chemistry, a love of cooking, and inspiration from the growing availability of new ingredients, Scott has filled our taps with a wide variety of beer styles and flavor profiles. There is something on the “beer wall” that will please everyone, including but not limited to stouts, porters, reds, IPAs, blondes and the occasional barrel-aged.
In May 2023, our operation expanded to include our new, upscale, state of the art, Riverside location. Rockwell Riverside is the largest tap room in Frederick, and features 20 taps for specialty brews, a large upscale tap room, and private event space. You can find different musical acts here, events, food trucks, and so much more!
