CATONSVILLE, Md. — It started as a conversation around Joe Gardenghi's firepit. A few years later, The Vortex has become a burgeoning spot for folks in Catonsville to unwind and rock out.

Rounding out a summer full of music festivals, the Old Line Country Music Festival takes place this Saturday at The Vortex on Ingleside Avenue, a venue that has become a gathering place for music lovers and community members over the past few years.

The venue has seen significant growth in just a few short years, becoming a place where music and good company can flourish.

"We've had several successful festivals already ranging from all different types of artists. But the crowds keep growing and growing and growing, and the more that we're seeing here, we're building community," Joe Gardenghi said.
