Tuesday night open mics at Takoma Spark.
School of Musical Traditions | 7112 Willow Ave., Takoma Park, MD 20912 | signups from 6.30-7pm, no signups after 7 cause that’s when the music starts!
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!
Italo ‘Tal’ Naccarato (guitar, banjo, keyboards, blues harp) is a composer, songwriter, teaching artist and instrumentalist born in the medieval-era mountaintop village of Fiumefreddo Bruzio in southern Italy, and raised in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. His stylized original work highlights a deep appreciation for traditional Folk and Americana Roots music, steeped heavily in Rock and Blues, and includes classical guitar inspired compositions performed with a ‘bluesy swing.’ When not playing a festival, club or recording date, Tal can sometimes be found performing on the streets of New York City, Nashville or New Orleans in the time-honored folk /roots/blues street singer tradition.
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
