The Dream. How it rose and fell and humbled.
A little excerpt of what I'm working on for the next zine: How I survived 10 Years as a Solo Performer in Baltimore. Out next year maybe?
What I really thought around the 2007 mark was that I was going to break through. That I was going to be on the level of at least the lowest minor musical celebrities….maybe written about in music zines or finding my way into a blurb in the paper or website or...something…where my peculiar brand of low budget musical comedy would be seen for the enduring and durable act that it was.
For years I had been doing my act and garnering praise and drawing modest numbers on the busiest night of the week (largely due to many wonderful and loyal fans.)
It was all true. But it was also so much harder than I could have imagined. After all, this was still just Baltimore we were talking about…
