All you ever wanted to know about karaoke
Earlier this morning, MS reader Michelle Davis sent me the heads up about a site she edits.
It's called Karaoke Traveler. Here is a link to the site, which has an exhausting list of bars and clubs with karaoke in Maryland and several other states.
But Karaoke Traveler doesn't stop there. It also has videos of celebrities singing karaoke and karaoke news updates from around the world.
I knew some people took karaoke seriously. But after reading this site? Wow.

I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.

I would never trust any karaoke list that doesnt include Walt's Inn

That is a nice small local site but if you want the scoop on the complete Karaoke Scene nationally as well as locally visit: http://www.KaraokeScene.com

Karaoke Traveler is a much better site. It lists places locally as well as nation wide. Karraoke Scene does'nt have local listings.

KaraokeTraveler is the only site I have found for karaoke lovers that actually provides well written articles on the subject. Most professional karaoke site I have seen

Karaoke Traveler is very informative and has really interesting articles. It's the site to go to for the latest on the Karaoke circuit.You're doing yourself a dis-service if you're looking for a place for karaoke and don't look at Karaoke Traveler.
