ilyAIMY Dangerous Music for Dangerous Times

I'm going to be interviewed on Iain Lee's Alternative to Late Night tomorrow afternoon. If that's confusing it's not because it's an alternative TIME to late night - it's because Iain Lee's a BBC talk show host and comedian and for THEM it's late night.

Iain "raided" my open mic last week* and now wants me to come chat (right after Paul McCartney's brother!) and if you want to see me realize I'm not as charming as I think I am LIVE, well tune in on his Twitch channel at www.twitch.tv/iainlee - he kicks off at 4pm ET and I think I'm on at about 5pm ET.

Our awkward plea .... you remember all those gigs we used to play? We sure hope we'll get back to them someday. In the meantime if you need a little US in your Life we've got physical merch at ilyaimy.square.site and digital merch at ilyaimy.bandcamp.com - and of course we'll happily accept donations at paypal.me/ilyaimy and Venmo @ilytips.

upComing and inComing:

VOM with us and LET IT ALL OUT on Mondays at 7pm ET. 2 pieces / 10 minutes whichever’s shorter. The first Monday of the month is a new song night dedicated to a topic… next month’s “taken by the wind”. Sponsored in part by the Maryland State Arts Council.…


No-one knows what’s going to happen this week with Inauguration et al. We’re going to play. As usual : keeping ourselves sane is important. Maybe it’ll just be a joyous musical webcast, maybe it’ll be something else. We just don’t know. But we’re in it together. ilyAIMY’s Live from the…

Columbia - Owen Brown Interfaith Center | 7246 Cradlerock Way

ilyAIMY and Ayreheart crossover show at One World Coffeehouse. Lute that shreds, guitar that shreds, bones, percussion, bass and a very dry sense of humour.


Details TBA


Wandering and Wondering:

So - we'll be webcasting Wednesday night but the landscape of Wednesday night might be weird. NO matter what happens, assuming no-one assaults the internet's infrastructure in a meaningful way (knock on wood), we'll be online. For our sanity, for yours. Join us if you're able. Definitely join us if you need to.

I'm kind of assuming that with a literal division's worth of National Guard on the job the Inauguration should go off sans excitement, but I have long ago learned never to underestimate the extremes of my fellow humans' ingenuity or stupidity when it comes to causing havoc. Friends in DC especially - do be cautious please.

*Okay, so putting "raided" in quotes shows that I'm soooo uncool, right? Not savvy in the ways of Twitch, sa sa? NO - I'm helping YOU in case YOU'RE not savvy! 

"Raiding" means Iain gathered up everyone watching HIS stream and brought them all over to MY stream and contrary to how that normally works (everyone storms into the comments says "hi" and wanders off) it resulted in a LOT of them sticking around to the end of the open mic (3am their time). It pushed my channel to "Affiliate" status in one fell swoop - so it actually helped us out a LOT.

And then I've got to thank Kerri (my Twitch wizard - "Twizzard") for explaining what the Hell was happening!
