Tuesday night open mics at Takoma Spark.
School of Musical Traditions | 7112 Willow Ave., Takoma Park, MD 20912 | signup at 6.30pm, music at 7pm
Sponsored in conjunction with Institute of Musical Traditions, this is a small LISTENING ROOM open mic. The evening is free, but every night we have a featured artist and we hope that you can support them by tipping or purchasing merch!
Tonight w featured artist Jonah Giuliano! Jonah Giuliano is a Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist. Originally from Maryland, he grew up playing drums in Baltimore’s experimental scene, and became exposed to traditional music over the course of many summers at Common Ground on the Hill, where he was first introduced to the mountain dulcimer by Susan Boyer Haley. Jonah’s idiosyncratic and largely self-taught approach to dulcimer is informed by an omnivorous musical palette, ranging from Appalachian old time to avant-garde jazz to the works of J.S. Bach.
This is NOT a restaurant so bring your own food or drink if you want to eat or drink! We have a house keyboard, but it’s a small space, unable to support acts larger than a quartet, and no drumkits. 2 songs, 10 minutes, 1 pun – whichever’s shorter. Any music that is pre-recorded must NOT be subject to DRM flagging as we are webcasting Live on Facebook.com/robsopenmics, YouTube.com/robsopenmics and Twitch.tv/ilyaimy.
