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!
Barring my adoration of the Residents, I’ve never been so enamoured with an artist so aggressively underground, almost solely supported by word-of-mouth from an understandably intense fanbase. Daniel Lee is how I’ve known him for 20 years of admiration, and despite moniker changes and an ever-changing web presence, I’ll never know him as anything different. An artist hailing from Louisiana with funk and soul running through his voice and guitar skills, imagine the second-coming of Prince with an aw-shucks southern gentleness and you’ll have a clue as to what you’re about to witness. An old friend and a dreamer, please welcome Daniel Lee.
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/robilyaimy
