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 our featured artist is Acacia Sears!
Acacia Sears is a Baltimore-based singer songwriter whose work is rooted in true life stories, thick with metaphor and imagery, percussive while being poetic. She has released two indie rock albums and one children’s album, and is preparing to record her next indie rock album in the Spring of 2024.
Acacia has hosted open mics at Teavolve and the Marquee Lounge, both noteworthy landmarks in the Baltimore area. In February, 2024, she played a nearly sold-out show with ilyAIMY at the Baltimore County Arts Guild, and the performance was described as “syngeristic beyond imagination.”
John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats is also a fan, saying “Any songwriter would preen if they wrote melodies like Acacia Sears does; every one’s a gem.”
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
