Some Great Things In My Local Scene

Over the past few days I have had the great fortune to discover a few really wonderful things in my local scene. Check 'em out:

1. Bob Sima--I came across Bob and his music on MySpace and was really taken aback by a song called "Gravity." I actually went to see Bob this weekend at The Pour House in Westminster and got the chance to talk with him for a little bit. Bob plays with Stereopool and his new solo album "Pour It On" is fantastic (I bought it, and you should too). Give a listen:

2. The Music Cafe--This place just opened about 6 months ago and is located in Damascus, literally about 10 minutes from my house. I went in there tonight to check it out and I really liked the vibe. I was only there for a little bit, but you can tell the owners are people who really love music. They even have Jimi and Janis painted on the bathroom doors! The Music Cafe is a pretty spacious coffeehouse with a nice area where bands and acoustic acts perform. Go by and visit one night, you won't be disappointed. (I recommend Fri. or Sat. nights when they have music).
