Melody, melancholy, & chords that go bump in the night…
Dreaming Chris hosts open mic at the Headhouse on Saturday, January 26th, 2019 (happy new year). Signups at 8:15pm. Playing starts at 8:30pm. 2 songs or 10 minutes per performer, whichever comes first!
Enjoy sushi, drink, and friendly music people at this welcoming, low-key gathering where you can warble without judgement.
Not much going on this week, so here’s a picture of Thomas’ pedicure.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at yesterday’s Christmas Village, rocking out with the kids in the front row and accompanied by our incredibly stalwart Thomas supporters (very motivating). Great to have Smooth Hands Rahul back onstage with us after his weeks abroad, wandering the subcontinent on behalf of the international economy.
Stay tuned for upcoming gigs, including a February 16th show from 7-10pm at Malelani Café Mount Airy, in their freshly renovated digs, and with the pristine harmonies of guest artist Plans to Sand sharing the fab new stage with us.
Chris and the road crew checking out the equipment, post-gig.
Dreaming Thomas is playing on Saturday, December 22nd, 12pm, at Christmas Village – sure to enhance your last-minute, shopping experience.
At first, Thomas was uncertain…
…but he finally decided to meet Norm face to hand, after months of not-too-close encounters.
…and also spent a moment with Chris…
…before deciding that that was enough for one encounter.
Rehearsing for Saturday’s open mic at the Tokio Sushi Headhouse (122 Lombard St), and also our second appearance at the Christmas Village on Saturday, December 22nd, 12pm.
Back at it, last time this year: join host Dreaming Chris for a convivial evening of sushi, singing, and some syncopation.
The Tokio Sushi Headhouse is at 122 Lombard Street in Society Hill. Signups at 8:15pm. We start strumming at 8:30pm.
Bring your vocal pipes, your fretboard, and your guileless abandon, and try the sushi and the beverages, which are excellent. 2 songs or 10 minutes, whichever comes first!
Dreaming Chris returned with friends Michelle and Joe for a second round of Christmas music at the Christmas Village stage. Thanks to friends and family who came out to check us out!

Come check us out if you missed us the first time! It’s also Beer Tasting time at the Alm Garden right next door, so you can enjoy two things at once if you come along to brave the December chill. : )

Hey! It was drizzly but not cold, and we were very nearly prepared to play in front of live people, and so it was a fun start to our Christmas Village experience. Many thanks to Bob for stepping in at the umpteenth minute on bass and guitar.
