September 2018

  • September 29th, 2018. Harper’s Ferry, VA

    Before playing a little show at the Event Barn in Harper’s Ferry, we took advantage of a stunning day to stroll the town. It’s INSANE how high the river is. Like… threateningly high. Signs for the river walk were well and truly in the river. We woke up in a cheap motel (same one we…

  • September 28th, 2018 – why is my head?

    Last night’s show in Richmond was really kind of marvelous – and a slap in the face to me to remind me a can never get complacent with my memory. Truly, I had a hideously off-night as it came to lyrics. My banter was on, my storytelling was solid, my guitar playing was awesome –…

  • September 25th, 2018 – open mics

    Hosting the Teavolve Open Mic. Friends jamming at Teavolve. Featured artist Kosi hitting Baltimore from NYC. Then she came with me out to a very nice, though underpopulated night at Busboys and Poets.

  • September 23rd, 2018 – a southern quickie.

    Bust head. (on our way to Charlottesville, VA) A new friend outside our gig at TIn Whistle Pub in Charlottesville, VA. The cats of outside-Richmond. Yeah. Maybe you could’ve come up with a better acronym? Setting up at the HofGarden in Richmond, VA. Visiting friends at THEIR gigs. Heather and I rock. Visiting friends and…

  • September 17th, 2018 – a really awesome night at Teavolve.

    Exhausted from running a folk festival, but undeterred, let the pics speak for themselves… cause I’m beat.

  • September 16th, 2018 – Prep for the Takoma Park Folk Festival and the Aftermath (e.g. The Takoma Park Folk Festival)

    SO – I do an awful lot of the groundwork for the annual Takoma Park Folk Festival, but when it comes down to it – I still get to do mostly FUN stuff.  I mean, I get to book the bands and make pretty envelopes and there’s a lot of organization and a LOT of…

  • September 13th, 2018 – swinging and miking.

    Monday night open mic night. Teavolve really IS all that most weeks. This week is no exception. Below is NOT to imply that Prince came to the open mic. I just don’t know how NOT to take photographs of the beast.  snoof. Okay, next time you pop out, I’m DEFINITELY asking how to pronounce your…

  • September 8th, 2018 – Poking Perry Hall.

    Perry Hall hosts a Saturday night open mic night and I very, very rarely am able to go. It hadn’t occurred to me JUST how rare till the host greeted me and said “wow, we haven’t seen you since you were our featured artist nine years ago!” Well, I guess someone WAS counting. SO –…

  • September 7th, 2018 – Happy DecaDateAversary.

    A bit before the DecaDateAversary Kristen was just wearing a good skirt so it was time to go someplace with nice lighting to admire it. (Columbia Lake Front, nice views, good company, mediocre sushi). It’s raining in Baltimore and all through the house not a creature was stirring except our cat who has navigated through…

  • September 5th, 2018. The Body I Always Wanted.

    covetous glare… I covet other’s bodies. I don’t mean I lustfully desire the physical charms of someone other than my wife… I mean I covet inhabiting a form other than mine. And I don’t mean that I wish to get RIPPED. I mean, that’d be great, but patience and will and genes and desiring chocolate…
