Famous musicians from Maryland include Francis Scott Key, who wrote " The Star-Spangled Banner" and pop punksters Good Charlotte, from Waldorf. While much of Maryland is a suburb of Washington DC, its musical community has been largely independent. The city of Baltimore, though only thirty-five miles from DC, has had little connection to DC.
