"The Resonant Rogues’ dark Appalachian folk paints a picture of their lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina and on the road. Anchored by the songwriting duo of Sparrow (banjo, accordion) and Keith Smith (guitar), the duo has traveled the byways and highways of America and crossed the oceans with instruments in tow. From riding freight trains to building their own homestead, the pair are no strangers to blazing unconventional trails. At once rooted and adventurous, each song tells a story of real experiences, friendships, and challenges."

April - May 2022 UNDER OUR FEET: HELP US BUILD A COMMUNITY PARADE
UNDER OUR FEET: HELP US BUILD A COMMUNITY PARADE
Under Our Feet is a series of parade puppet making sessions at Black Cherry Puppet Theater that will culminate in a parade at the Sowebo Arts Festival on Sunday, May 29, 2022! The parade takes inspiration from the living systems that exist, out of sight, under layers of concrete in the city. Ancient rivers and creeks flow, diverted through sewers and culverts. A diversity of organisms thrive in layers of earth, doing their age-old work of building soil. Dirk Joseph, Valeska Populoh and Michael Lamason are the three artists leading the build and are supported with a small faculty grant from MICA. All work sessions will take place at Black Cherry Puppet Theater at 1115 Hollins Street in Baltimore!

Sunday June 12, 2022 Underworld Orchard
Under World Orchard
Hanna Olivegren, Liz Downing and Steve Strohmeier
Listen HERE on bandcamp!
with favorite absurdist miserablist poet
RUPERT WONDOLOWSKI and JARRETT GILGORE
at Black Cherry for two (limited capacity) shows!
Sunday June 12, 6:30 and 8:30pm
Tickets $10 to $15
AVAILABLE NOW! CLICK HERE!
We, Underworld Orchard, have gathered works of writers whose words we sing in our folk trance way.. Gertrude Stein's repetitions, Moon Dog's couplets, James Agees personified gardens, Homer's watery descriptions.
We began to sing together some years ago, just after meeting. We would talk and talk and sing and sing, no structure, no words in our singing and though we were cultures apart, generations apart, we had an ancient vocal connection. Steve now makes a sparkling sonic world where we wind our voices among his bell like tones.
A description of our 2020 recording, from Steve Johnson of 20/20 records, "crepuscular, waxing/waning, magic hour old-weird-America, the edge of folklore as modernism began to creep in, fables from before they laid down the grid.."
**Doors open 1/2 hour before each showtime!
(mask & vaccination or negative test required)**
