So – my description of featured artist Mike Bragg holds true:
I’ve been hosting open mics for a long time. We’ve been through family deaths, marriages, fights. We’ve been through wars and terrorist assaults and natural disasters, protests and contentious election after contentious election. We played at Teavolve as riots and protests raged on the other end of the city. We gathered on the night of the Second Trump Ascendency and played after we voted.
My open mic community writes songs inspired by their Lives and they sing their hearts out because for many of us it’s our only way of coping. These past few months have felt different. Rage and fear and questions about the future, it all comes out in the music. Tonight we were joined by Mike Bragg who’s really distilled a lot of those emotions in his music with a clarity that I hugely admire. It sends chills down my spine even as I reach for the compressor (cause he’s got an IMMENSE voice).
Grateful to have Mike Bragg stepping in as my featured artist tonight. (we had Ronya Lee on the schedule but she had to cancel – we’ll get her back this fall!)
We do this every Tuesday. Signup before 7. I start at 7. 7112 Willow Avenue in Takoma Park, MD. robsopenmics.ilyaimy.com for more information. For information about the photos and videos and usage thereof, please click here!
