Vote The Dirty Middle for Frederick's Best of the Best Band!

• Once a day
• EVERY DAY
• Sept 16 – 22

Vote for us

Why us?

Every member of our band is Frederick in a nutshell. We all either grew up here, intend to live here forever, or both. We know Frederick inside and out, and would be honored to represent it as the 2026 Best of the Best Band Winner.

We've been playing Frederick stages for over 10 years. One decade down, many more to go.

Whoever wins, it's a good year for Frederick music!
