July 28th, 2022. Open Mic … Thursday?!
Dave Godbey’s first open mic performance in years. It’s the first time we’ve seen him since Teavolve. Performing with Dave Benham. After having to cancel this past Sunday for the heat, and knowing that over-hundred-degree temperatures are just too frequent a thing between 5-7pm on any day, I asked Jeni if there was any night…

July 27th, 2022. Live from the Lair with old friends.
No, I have no real idea how I do this to our cables either. It’s been a little while since I had to go set us up at Heather’s and… it showed! IN 1995 or so I almost joined a band called Wild Monkey Sex. Or something like that. I went up to Johns Hopkins…

July 26th, 2022. Blues Alley.
Moi? On the one hand, I’m 47 years old and still getting excited over a big name with a small room even spelling our name right – on the other hand I think I’m grateful that I’m not jaded to it. We should never have been allowed to play here. Blues Alley is an almost-60…

Friday, July 15th, Heather and I played the beautiful vineyards of Black Ankle in Mount Airy, MD. Fields full o’ dreams! And grapes, of course. I hear there’s whole TOWNS of stucco and white brick that look like this in foreign lands… I’ve grown less and less sure of what to put in the Wandering…

July 17th, 2022. A week ago…
Tuesday was a beautiful day in Catonsville. We got out and voted for perhaps the last time in this district, but everything is up in the air – and truly you never know what to expect. All the neighbours that we don’t know very well came out to take photos on the front porch. There…

July 14th, 2022. Alive @ Five.
So grateful for an amazing day. The whole band running amok here in Frederick, MD. An audience of 1100 people that were, yeah, probably a lot of them were there for the beer, but there was no way they could ignore us! We got a lot of response, and we had an absurdly good time.…

July 11th, 2022. Looking for silver.
The woman with the sweetest dog. So I posted this today after a follow-up interaction with a new friend at the open mic in Frederick, MD (the woman with the sweetest dog). “I Love when : Someone says “holy crap, only two artists have made me sit up and take notice in the last couple…

July 10th, 2022. Oh yeah. Hostin’!
Frank Hogans kicking off the list at the Little Market Cafe open mic with his built-in effects Yamaha. I don’t think I’ve seen him for a long time but it’s good to have him back in the house. Even if the house is outside. Yes. It’s hot. It’s JULY!!! And you’re awesome! Okay, going to…

July 10th, 2022. Kristen Day.
A good day followed by a good night. Kristen Day! (And night) I think this is the first time a birthday party’s felt like a BIRTHDAY party since 2020. rob Day at the New Deal Cafe? Yeah – that was the last time it felt “right”. A true celebration, friends hugging one another, the joy…

July 9th, 2022. Trickle.
Last night i wanted to get out and DO something so I went over to the Sky Stage open mic run by FAME (Frederick Acoustic Music Enterprise) in Frederick, MD. T’was a wonderful night. Well, I’m gonna miss Snally Fest, but I think I’m pretty glad that it exists! I’m not accomplishing very much right…
