    Baltimore’s Round Robin Tour

    For months now, all the talk in my neighborhood has been about the Round Robin Tour. Something like a dozen Baltimore bands have been on tour together. What’s special about it is the format of the show. The show starts, and one band plays one song. Immediately after that, another band plays another song, and so on until all the bands have played a song. Then, they do it again, and again. It’s great! For anyone who gets sick of listening to sound checks between each and every band, this is a dream come true. It’s a wonderful idea, and Baltimore is very proud to have these bands draw huge crowds nationwide – no kidding, huge crowds! The show’s almost over, but there’s one performance left, and you can download the compilation from the tour!

    Piles of Paper

    I went up after Lizz King, Vox Populi, and before the N.U.R.B.S., and I was armed to the teeth. I’ve spent the better part of the last week digging through a pile of everything I’ve ever written.

    Live Music at the True Vine, Baltimore

    Last Friday, with friends and neighbors, I attended a wonderful gathering at the True Vine record shop in Baltimore. In the back room, there was space enough to pack all of three bands and us for an evening of good music, good company, and laughter.
