Huzzah! Some of my Takoma Parkians are finding me out in Bowie. I know it’s a drive… but come ON guys, I drove to YOU for a full YEAR! Above – Matt Holsen is an exquisite performer and he really left some brain matter spattered around the Old Bowie Town Grille this last Sunday. Heh…

Back at Teavolve w Acacia Sears, Mosno Al-Moseeki, Rowan Corbett and Keola. Cecilia Grace in the house. Oof. My first day back in Maryland was not admirable. I’m definitely feeling the effects of several days without much sleep (2 – 3 hours a night) and the general shift of pace of my world. Monday I…

The sun goes down behind the Oswego Music Hall over Lake Ontario in Oswego, NY. Fighting with the soundboard at the Oswego Music Hall. I’m glad I had the opportunity to fight on behalf of We’re About 9. a) I know what they’re supposed to sound like because I’ve been listening to them for over…

One of my greatest joys is taking the wonderful things that we make and committing them to some sort of tangible, finished and sharable format. I really, really Love doing it – and I especially Love doing it in random and weird places. I don’t get to do it enough. Here we are in Kristen’s…

Monday night, rather than sit at home like lumps we decided to go out and hit an open mic to reaquaint ourselves with the Hartford-esque area. We returned to the Sully’s open mic and encountered some old friends and met some new ones. Above is Jimmy Mancini who had a spectacular vocal style (sort of…

Man, for as much as the Snowquester failed to materialize in jolly ole’ Maryland, Delmar, NY DID have a quick brush with the white stuff. Enough that snowmen sprung up by the dozen… It’s like a damned Neilds song out here! Okay, this monster wasn’t exactly lyrical or a reminder of childhoods’ past. This Snowgre…

ilyAIMY performing at the historic Caffe Lena! Sold out night, great audience, fun noises – a great way to cap off a trio of shows with Pesky J. Nixon. We’ve been doing Slight Departure with Jake joining us on accordion as well as Superstition – but tonight we got Superstition with Jake AND Dan on…

Pesky J. Nixon telling some sort of story, evidently about a banana in Ethan’s ear. Or perhaps a phone. Our friend singer/songwriter Brittany Ann had also joined us for the night and was ready to sing a song… but was also curious about the banana. Or perhaps the phone. (at Burlap and Bean in Newtown…

We got in, played the show and got out. I think we dropped close to $80 on parking on tolls over the course of the day and the show itself was underpopulated – but the people that WERE there were all the ones I really wanted to see. Either old, old, old friends (first kiss!)…

Snew! Headin’ to the Christopher Street Coffeehouse in New York City, NY. Meeting up with Pesky J. Nixon in New York City was destined to be fun. Here they are running through a song for sound check at the Christopher Street Coffeehouse. The snow came out of nowhere and vanished just the same. I was…
