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!
Leila Fabio is an amazingly talented singer songwriter out of the DMV. Recording under the name Dazey, her original work telegraphs an eclectic musical taste with influences from hiphop, R&B, jazz, Bossa Nova and pop. Her music has a mellow vibe and even as it deals with painful subjects it conveys a glimmer of hope and strength.
Collaborating with Guitarist Justin Heath brings the aesthetic in a more paired down acoustic direction. Justin is a multi-instrumentalist with myriad influences from jazz, Latin, and bluegrass. Together they are a formidable duo with a lean sound that is mutually supportive and showcases both of their talents.
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
