January 30th, 2024. The Spark w Frank Hogans.
Nabbing Heather to come along with me turned this into one of the best Sparks ever! Back when I first booked Frank Hogans as a feature at Teavolve in Baltimore I said something like “Frank’s music is evocative of the pain and beauty – the downright JOY of growing into wisdom. With an arsenal of…

January 29th, 2024. Cat soup.
Glen Echo Park was once one of the first DC-area amusement parks. I wouldn’t claim to understand it’s history, but it made for a good place to sneak into growing up. Last Tuesday I went and visited Glen Echo State Park in the hopes that they’d be a good venue for me, or Focus, or…

January 23rd, 2024. The Spark with Song Riot.
I went to do a venue walk through at Glen Echo Park in Glen Echo, MD before running over to the open mic. I probably didn’t need to do this, but it meant I could get PAID for going to visit one of my favourite places in the snow, and I didn’t want to pass…

January 21st, 2024. Is this thing on?
Hey, at least the icicles are… excuse me… cool. Communication is so hard. At the best of the times, it’s difficult, but in the mid-twenties of the twenty-first century it seems to be actively sabotaged by everything around us. We stopped writing letters decades ago and all that comes in the mail is redundant bills…

January 19th, 2024. Snew.
Last Saturday 1/13 – band practice. Full band practice. With Acacia Sears! Putting together our noises for our February 3rd show…. Sunday morning, I’d heard we were going to get snow on Monday, but I didn’t really believe them. I was overjoyed to see THIS much! I’m sloooow today, and I think I’m okay with…

January 16th, 2024. The SPARK w Justin Golden.
Gratefully to finally get my snow, but I must admit and being kinda grumpy about Dave Eisner convincing me to keep the open mic ON for tonight. I was SURE no-one was going to come. Damn the crappy green marker, but this is the list at 6.35pm. Yeah, people are gonna come. I guess I…
