Dragging myself out of my fear and meeting other Maryland songwriters is among the best thing I have done in my life. Joey made me cry my way back to performance. joeyharkum.com/?fbclid=IwAR2I… @Joeyharkum
This wasn't the first song of Joey's that knocked me out, but my god it does. . There's a shoutout here to the @freestateworks which gave me some of my earliest chances to bring my music out of the darkness.
I wrote a ton of songs to put up on FreeState, including this one. . It helped me see myself as an artist, which is hard for me. Very hard. It was some of this work that helped me feel the confidence to put together @dirkandthetruth
The man behind FreeState Workshop is this cat is Robert McFreshington, who put out this amazing thing that (WTF) has 46 views on youtube. That's a goddamn crime.
He's done pretty goddamn well with his pump up Ravens vids, but still.
Joey inspired and Fresh gave a platform to @BumpinUglies 's Brandon Hardesty. That dude was basically a kid back when he dropped this.
In the couple of years I've known him, Brandon has gone from some man/child singing about booze to a newly sober NATIONAL FXN RAGAE ACT. . How great is that.
Shoot I missed a point. R. McFreshington's current project blank POINT Method is playing right after me and the Truth @FrozenHarbor at @PBRbaltimore Feb 29. I like to claim I convinced him he was a singer, but you know ....
This dude - Jordan McSokel of @PressingStrings - is another FSW alumni, just raising a couple of babies in my neighborhood and being mind-blowingly f'n awesome. .
Sweet Leda - now headlining at Frozen Harbor after years of putting in the work. @sweetledaband @jaime_sweetleda @dsboyette - I mean what more do you want than great songwriting, playing, singing and The Work.
All of our favorite local MD dude: @skribestudios . Saw him at the restaurant in my neighborhood the other day and was a little scared to say hi 'cuz he's the shit. I saw his conga player a while ago too, but he was too hammered to say speak, lol.
I'll close out with my dude @alexpetersmusic who gets all the love from @WTMD and @samsessa for this ridiculous-yet-awesome pop song. He's just some guy too, and his parents are awesome and I love MD music.
The @alexpetersmusic I know sounds like this . He dropped this right before I went to FreeState Workshop for the first time and frightened me to my bones.
@alexpetersmusic I just remembered this song that I wrote and put up on FSW in 2012, and come to find out it fits The Truth like a glove.
Perhaps I should mention we dropped a new single a couple of weeks ago.
