MC Bravado at Parish

Mar 15, 2025

8:55pm – 9:05pm CT

Parish

New York-bred, Baltimore transplant MC Bravado has taken the road less traveled, leaving behind his career as a High School English Teacher to jump on the famed Vans Warped Tour in June of 2018. Fortunately, putting his heart and soul into the music has led to more touring, major festival appearances (SXSW, A3C), and critical acclaim from BILLBOARD, Rolling Stone, FOX, ABC, CBS, NPR, On The Radar, Shade45, REVOLT TV, Okayplayer, Lyrical Lemonade, HotNewHipHop, HipHopDX, and many more.

Bravado has shared stages with Bone Thugs, Scarface, Big Daddy Kane, Joell Ortiz, Statik Selektah, Nappy Roots, GZA of Wu-Tang Clan, Onyx, RA The Rugged Man, Jarren Benton, Dizzy Wright, and Chris Webby, among others.

Walking the walk of championing at-risk youth, the former Baltimore City high school English teacher still keeps a leg in the classroom as a program coordinator for the Baltimore nonprofit music education program Beats Not Bullets.
