Reggie Miles	Jan 29 2009 5:22 AM In early October I wrote one of my latest songs called, “Wall Street Bail Out Blues.” Within four days of writing it, a video crew captured me playing it on the street at Seattle’s Pike Place Market and posted their video on YouTube. That video has now reached the attention of a writer for The Wall Street Journal who is writing an article about those who have written songs about our tough economic times. His article will be published this week and I’m excited to read it. Who knows where this might lead? Call me an optimist but I have a feeling that this could mean that a few more seconds of that elusive fifteen minutes of fame might be coming my way. It ain’t the cover of the Rolling Stone but it’s not every day that a writer from a major worldwide news outlet seeks me out to talk to me about my songwriting. That’s a huge validation of my efforts at staying true to my vision. I must be doing something right. Follow your dreams. Reggie Miles
René	Dec 15 2008 11:36 PM Great show this Sunday at DC9 featuring 9 singer songwriters from around the region.

Acoustic District	Aug 18 2008 5:10 PM Nostalgia Maureen Andary Nostalgia, the aptly entitled debut CD from ukulele troubadour Maureen Andary will have you dreaming yourself en route to Europe to fight a great war, listening to USO women, evoking memories of the streetscapes and nightlife you left behind. This impressive collection of songs showcases Maureen’s many talents -- ukulele & guitar, recorder and mouth trumpet. But above all it introduces us to a voice aged beyond its years, quirky and sweet, powerful and muted, able to mold itself to each distinct mood. She often uses her voice much like a backup instrument, a one woman “Andrew Sisters” or “The Roches”. Standout tracks include “Nostalgia” a loosely knit ukulele number with enough open space to appropriately introduce her unique jazzy voice. “Our Hearts Bleed”, a sugary sweet song with more pop sensibility than you can shake a “pepperment” stick at. And “Duke”, a scatty, skirt swishing tribute to Duke Ellington and U. St. A must have song for anyone who has spent time in Washington DC. At times ethereal and at times smoky, Maureen gives us a new take on old love, a perspective decades after the fact. With lyrics like “it’s sexier to love in quiet, in secret…” and “think you smell me days later?”, Maureen becomes the girl whose memory you settle down in your bunk with each night, the one who makes you miss home…so…so…much.

Acoustic District	Jun 10 2008 6:53 PM No Dustbunnies Flo Anito Let’s get this out right off the bat; I am a Flo Anito fan. I have been anxiously awaiting this album for almost two years now. With that in mind, throughout that time I have had very high expectations for it. What I hoped this CD would capture is at the same time what I feared it never would, the wit and innocence of Flo’s voice, through her music. I have not been disappointed. No Dustbunnies comes barreling out of the gate with the radio ready “Man of the Year”. Caught off guard with the simplicity of the first verse, Brian Jones opens up his drums, taking the music to a new level all together. It is hard to make it through this song without exclaiming Flo Anito has arrived! Flo has managed to create a variant of pop on this album that I am affectionately naming “Sugar Pop”. Chris Keup and Stewart Myers have done an exceptional job at taking Anito’s sweet sounding “Pop” and giving her a sharpened “Rock” edge, leaving the songs dynamic and versatile. Stand out tracks include the aforementioned “Man of the Year”, a top 40 hit in any listener’s ears. “Change My Life”, borrowing notes from The Fray, creating a piano based ballad about growth, integration and moving in a new direction. “No Good”, a song about un-reciprocated love with a chorus that I still find myself singing and finally, “No Dustbunnies” a song that showcases Flo’s creative lyric writing, painting a world where Beaver Cleaver still roams the streets – a place where Flo longs to be, tongue firmly planted in cheek. You can pick up the CD at – www.cdbaby.com/floanito – you will not be disappointed. Tom Goss The Acoustic District
Acoustic District	May 16 2008 10:43 PM Expandable Dave Ihmels Washington, DC has many claims to fame – monuments, cherry blossoms, politics – but there is one thing that will always fall short of the list, folk music. Dave Ihmels has set out to change that. With his hotly anticipated debut album Expandable, Ihmels is turning heads and opening ears in a city yearning for a voice. With the delicate Burn Every Tree opening the CD listeners are welcomed into “starlight and secrecy” as they begin their journey through what will surely be the cornerstone of Ihmels’ blossoming career. As many albums do, the first three tracks of Expandable move swiftly and begin to unravel the artist within. This is where the depth of many albums stop; however with the opening of Over The Big Pond (Track 4) listeners are greeted with a new sound entirely. Atmospheric and spatial, looping a multitude of voices and electronic keyboards, it becomes glaringly obvious that Ihmels is just warming up. Following Over The Big Pond, Green Field bursts back into folk/pop easily wrapping you around its fingertips. The catchiest song on the album, Green Field will catch you (as it did me) singing the final chorus on your first listen. Other stand out tracks include Down To The Afterlife a Who-esque rocker that will have you tapping your feet and rocking your hips, Jellyfish Blues, personifying oceanic life in a way you never thought possible and Stay In The Light, a song that could easily be sandwiched into a Nick Drake album, holding up the entire way. Fellow DC folkster Linda Sublett lends her vocals (and flute) to the album, rounding out Ihmels’ voice and helping create a depth that many never achieve. Expandable has something for everyone and Dave Ihmels is living proof that folk will never die in a city where politics are left to run at-will. Expandable is available on iTunes and…CDbaby.com Tom Goss The Acoustic District

Acoustic District	Apr 18 2008 7:06 PM What Dreams May Come Michael Yugo Every now and then you are forced to dig. To go deeper than you once knew you could, to pull out emotions you scarcely knew you had. Once there you dabble in the reality of what it means to be alive, then re-surface, more afraid then ever to go to that place, where emotion is raw and truth ever present. Michael Yugo lives in that place. We are all better for it. What Dreams May Come opens softly with a plucked guitar, setting the scene for what will be a delicate entrance and begins the submerge into a mere glimpse of Yugo’s life. By the fourth line (“When was the last time, that I touched your face?”), you will be in love with a voice that carries time, and experience, on its shoulders. Stand out tracks include I Choose & Could Be, tender declarations of love, and the sacrifices we make to follow it, What I’ve Learned, a Dylanesque warning to those of us standing on the sidelines of life and Heaven’s Hand an adaptation of John 15: 9 -17 urging us to acknowledge that there is peace, truth and most especially love behind what we are seeking. However, the truest gem on this album is a song worthy of a separate mention. Delaware Place is a song about growing up, friends & family, love & loss, failure, hope and most especially, home. Musically it is sparse, open just enough to let the listener slide into Yugo’s life, if only for a brief moment. Once there, you will hope to never leave. Tom Goss The Acoustic District
Art Whino	Apr 9 2008 3:06 AM In the mood for a little cosmic PARTY? Then Join Art Whino for an OUT OF THIS WORLD experience as we celebrate Yuri’s Night, a World Space Party commemorating Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, and the first human space flight. Yuri's Night is like the St. Patrick’s Day or Cinco de Mayo for space. It is a day when the world comes together to celebrate the power, beauty, and party potential of space. So dress yourself in your best celestial attire (prizes awarded); come see an art exhibition of other-worldly magnitude, and enjoy a Vodka of space themed libations by Stoli Vodka. Cosmic burlesque performances featuring Miss Saturn, spaced out Russian-style post-punk music by Mr. Moccasin, spacey DJ sets, and more will temporarily elevate you from your daily earthly existence. Performances by: Miss Saturn, Gilded Lily Burlesque, L’il Dutch & selected scenes from Landless Theatre Company’s Space Battles the Musical will orbit throughout the night, hosted by the enigmatic Master Uranus
Dave Ihmels (debut album out now!)	Mar 13 2008 10:59 PM looking forward to March 21--see you soon! -Dave
doug brouder and the incredible occasionals	Mar 9 2008 1:26 AM Hi everybody! It's been way way too long. I've been traveling, wearing a groove on Rts 15 and 270 going back and forth from FFX to Gettysburg, specifically on Friday evenings, after which I collapse into a chair. Watch out, though, I'm coming back and this time I'm bringing the celtic music. Watch for the world debut of PunKAsS McGeE - Celtic music with an attitude! Proper attire required (gents: that would mean kilts) You've been warned. Can't wait to see you all again. Much love - mwah. db
