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 w featured artist Frank Hogans.
Frank Hogans is an award-winning* singer-songwriter hailing from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, who regularly plays venues in the Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia music scenes, as well as showcases in Nashville and New York City. A clever wordsmith and a seasoned and innovative guitarist, he has earned a loyal following eager to hear refreshingly intelligent lyrics and uniquely original melodies and music.
“Frank’s music is evocative of the pain and beauty – the downright JOY of growing into wisdom. With an arsenal of dark and surprising chord voicings, out-of-the-box tunings, and a counter-intuitively powerfully fragile vocal delivery, Frank Hogans is one of the most beautiful writers in the Maryland area.”
— Rob Hinkal, ILYAIMY
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
