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’s featured artist is a new regular that’s none too regular at all : please welcome Rebecca Berlin. “Singer/songwriter. Dancer. Teacher. Storyteller. To me, all of these identities are about movement. The pathway that notes take to form a melody; the way muscles bend and flex to twirl and leap across a stage; the process of my heart being broken and healed; the way I reach out to whoever listens to create connection. These elements weave their way into everything I do and create.”
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. We webcast Live on Facebook.com/robsopenmics, YouTube.com/robsopenmics and Twitch.tv/ilyaimy
hi there! I’m a musician / songwriter from Delaware. REALLY want to attend your open mic!! Been looking at in for awhile. Sign up is at 6:30, correct? I am coming from almost 2 hrs away….so I’m just asking, is there ever a time when someone can’t play because they’ve got too many performers?
I certainly don’t want or need any special treatment…but wanted to at least know there’d be a good chance to perform before heading that way on Jan 2
Thanks! and thanks for doing this!!!
Signup’s at 6.30, and a) no, I’ve got the keys so I stay open as long as I need to, and definitely guarantee that as long as you’re there by the time the music starts at 7, you play! and b) excited to have you! and c) 301.910.2575, text me if you’re running crazy late.
