A quick visit to Old Bowie Town Grille’s open mic before getting out on the road! (above : DeJohn) Wow. So I met an interesting person today. Or rather… someone with an interesting story. I’m not quite sure what to make of it. A girl came into the shop (17 or 18?) and sat playing…

Lelehuna at my Capital City Cheesecake. Thank you guys so much for joining us, sharing your msuic – Gordon, you will be missed. I was really sorry to hear about the death of one of my favourite members of my open mic community. Our friend Gordon Velasco died this morning at 4am from an aggressive…

ilyAIMY at the Takoma Park Folk Festival. Tight and delicious! That’s us! Our friend Will got these shots of ilyAIMY performing at the Takoma Park Folk Festival. Our amazing audience at the Takoma Park Folk Festival. Before we started setting up (and for the previous 3 or 4 acts) the field had been pretty bare……

One of the rarer concerns we’ve ever had – we were informed that “the mess has been cleaned up” but that a herd of striped cows had stampeded through the grounds where we to be performing in Charles Town, WV. Apparently these were some of the culprits – of the pot-bellied pig that had been…

The Honest Mistakes at Georgie Jessup’s Edith May’s Paradise! A great list at the Edith May’s Paradise open mic in Jessup, MD. Headed west on 70. Again. No complaints – it’s a beautiful drive and we’re going to a beautiful place, but it’d be nice to teleport. Or to have some spectacular railgun zerorail maglev…

September 2nd, 2013 at Teavolve Cafe and Lounge in Baltimore, MD. Happy ten year anniversary last night! Overheated and overtired I limped through my open mic while losing my voice, trying out a new camera and generally feeling pretty terrible by the end of the night. I was up with stomach ick all night, woke…

Heather playing at Magnolia’s At the Mill in Purcellville, VA. An inauspicious last gig of the first decade. Playing to a very, very dead crowd in Purcellville, VA – made only bearable by absolutely exquisite food and the presence of our friends Eva and Ari who’ve come out to see us perform tonight. There are…

The marvelous Bat at my Old Bowie Town Grille open mic. He and his wife have a story similar to Heather and I – getting fed up with their current world and following a dream – selling everything that doesn’t fit into the car and going on the road. With a grin and a ferocious…

ilyAIMY’s joined by Herbie on saxophone at my Old Bowie Town Grille open mic! Having a good horn player join you is one of the greater joys of playing music! Kristin expresses her rage at such a busy night! She’s been our longest-running waitress at the Teavolve open mic in Baltimore, MD. Good morning! Last…

Heather and I have been playing out at Parallel Wine Bistro about once a month all summer, but this is the first time we’ve gotten lots of dogs to play with! This beestie apparently is a “destroyer”, but she seemed damned sweet to me! Another one of the Lovely mammals from our most recent show…
