2025


  • November 11th, 2025. The SPARK w Sean Morse.

      Sean Morse was one of the very first people we ever met in our travels. Hitting open mics in Colorado, I don’t remember if he was hosting or “just” another performer, but we quickly bonded over music and whimsy, met up to climb trees and play in the snow, and have now been friends…

  • November 9th, 2025. The Music City Open Mic.

    The nights are turning cold and the threat of rain whisked through Catonsville as I was loading in. There was something in the air that just made us want to gather close… We had a new-to-us fiddler named Dina who came out and played with a couple of our regulars. She was a welcome partner…

  • November 4th, 2025. The SPARK w Kosi.

    Kosi is an old friend – I’ve known her for many years. She started coming to the Teavolve open mic back in 2016 and it was a pleasure to host her whenever she came through from New York City. As a wandering musician she bussed all across the east coast until she settled here in…

  • November 2nd, 2025. The Music City Open Mic.

    Well. The lights are gonna do what they’re gonna do. Seems no way to stop them. A relatively chill night. But damn. Check the tuning on your bass, rob. Le sigh. Anywho, we do this every Sunday (almost, not next Sunday actually) at Morsbergers Tavern (713 Frederick Rd, Catonsville, MD, 21228). Signup’s at 6.30 or…

  • October 28th, 2025. The SPARK w Daniel Lee.

    Daniel Lee Comeaux. Probably. I’ve known him by many names over the past 25 years. But he remains one of the most talented singer/songwriters I’ve ever encountered. He’s got the drawl to prove it, coupled with the vocal chops ofJeff Buckley, the guitar stylings of an acoustic Prince and the aw-shucks drawl of his home in Louisiana.…

  • October 19th, 2025. Morning.

    Great Falls, VA. I good place for a walk before a show… actually, I think we’re standing in Maryland LOOKING at Virginia across the water. They’ve even got dinosaurs. Or herons. Or something. It’s one of those mornings where I’m up in the MORNING morning. The sun’s slowly rising and light’s filtering in. I’m pre-magic,…

  • October 15th, 2025. Dream House.

    Angie Miller at 49 West. Jeff Miller. Mike Bragg.Monday night was my first night to stay the Hell HOME since we’d gotten back from the west, which meant we could go out to 49 West in Annapolis to see friends. I was eager to introduce Jeff Miller to Mike Bragg under the umbrella of Angie…

  • October 12th, 2025. The Music City Open Mic.

    Before heading over to Morsbergers to run my open mic, a cellist snuck downstairs to record some tracks for our old friend Sahffi. T’was a chill night and I got to come home relatively early. I approve. Relatively short list, we ended up going around again for a third song and I got to play…

  • October 12th, 2025. Good and Loud to Be Home.

    Home means omelets. Coffee makes too much noise. I’m slow to rise this morning and I don’t want to run water from the faucet because it’s too loud. And I don’t want to grind the beans because it’s too loud. I didn’t want to listen to the news this morning because it was all too…
