TONIGHT in ROCKVILLE MD: Annette Wasilik Music curates and hosts this showcase of the area's finest singer/songwriters at Hank Dietle's Tavern, which has literally risen from the ashes and it looks, sounds and feels fabulous! $10-$20 Suggested donation for the artists.
This month features: Mary Battiata, rob Hinkal of ilyAIMY , Bill Baker and Annette.
“In a perfect world, Annette Wasilik would be a star.” ~ Ken Nagelberg Baton Rouge Community Radio WHYR 96.9 FM
“Everything you most loved about Dolly and Rosanne is here, [Mary Battiata writes] with heart-tugging hooks that snag like spurs.” – Andrew Darlington, RNR Magazine, UK (March/April)
Local boy Bill Baker has become a familiar name in the Washington DC music scene. His award winning and critically acclaimed songs and voice have made there way across the States and onto main stage venues at Kerrville Folk Festival, Merlefest, Kennedy center, Strathmore arts center and Barns at Wolftrap as well as performances in Europe.
“Percussive, rhythmically driven guitar that freely composites fingerpicking, classical melodies, running bass lines, harmonics, & hard-charging chords. [rob Hinkal‘s] vocals are needled & gaunt, with the jittery energy of a dockyard stray on speed …” – Allzah
