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 AT School of Musical Traditions, down the street from HOUSE of Musical Traditions, this is a rare thing : 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 MO.
I must admit, that as I pick my featured artists, I look for people who not only exude talent and drive, but people who inspire and support others – and you can often find them via the company they keep. Originally from Randallstown, MD – Baltimore-based singer/songwriter Mo is clearly influenced by every piece of music and art that crosses her path. Folk, R&B, grunge and jazz, a swirling tumult that gives her a uniquely CHARM CITY sound. With a voice careening from whispered intimacy to sultry, smoky power, she makes music that is angsty, soulful, raw – and she does it while supporting the communities around her: not just my own Baltimore-area open mics, but Lee Allen’s Collaboration Laboratory, a powerful MIXER of musicians and artists based in Baltimore City. I’m proud to bring her down to Takoma Park’s Open SPARK.

This is NOT a restaurant so bring your own food or NON-ALCOHOLIC* drink if you want to eat or drink! We have some snacks and drinks available for a reasonable donation. 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. After 10pm we switch to just one song as we are victims of our own success!
