THESE GUYS HAVE NEVER PLAYED IN FREDERICK so you get to be the first to hear them live. You are in for an awesome night of extremely cool music!
Sacred Monsters is a Philadelphia-based sad girl rock band blending raw emotion with energetic melodies. Known for their introspective lyrics, tight harmonies, and dynamic live performances, they create music that’s both cathartic and contagious. With a sound that lives somewhere between heartbreak and healing, Sacred Monsters brings vulnerability to the forefront—loud and unapologetically.
Sam Smizek is a Maryland-based songwriter whose music blends haunting vulnerability with sharp lyricism and stripped-down instrumentation. Drawing inspiration from indie rock, folk, and the soft edges of punk, Sam creates intimate soundscapes that feel both nostalgic and freshly raw.
NO COVER CHARGE!

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!
