It was a very, very busy weekend of shows – and every one of them was different, and there was a lot to Love about each of them. Friday night was an artsy, strange and wonderful celebration of the winter solstice. Saturday found us playing a wine bar in Frederick where we have a small but devoted fanbase, and Sunday found me playing solo in College Park at a new venue, discovering wonderful new crossovers.
Hell, we could put Monday in here too, right?
Friday night found us at the Windup Space in Baltimore for a Whimsical Winter Ball. T’was a rainy night in Charm City, but a good time had nonetheless. Unfortunately, I’ve decided I’ve grown too used to NOT having heavy-ass feet and probably don’t want to play in my boots anymore. I felt leaden and rooted.
Below – Sunday December 16th had me playing a singer/songwriter showcase at Milkboy Arthouse in College Park, MD. Underpopulated, but a really great night. I must admit I had way more fun than I should’ve. Rowan joined me but that wasn’t the best part. It was hosted by Annette Wasilik and THAT wasn’t the best part. I was on my game in front of Rupert Wates, AND I got to see Rupert Wates – and THAT wasn’t the best part!
The best part was sharing a stage with Eric Scott – a bass-playing singer/songwriter that I’ve known for a long time, but don’t think I’ve ever shared a stage with. I beatboxed for him, he played bass for me. It was really, really good.
Yeah, I think we can include tonight in here too. Teavolve’s last open mic of the year with Rupert Wates. Lots of regulars, a couple of new people, a packed list, a good house.
