Thanks again everyone for showing up despite the rain storm last night for @playtestbaltimore. Pictures and videos will be posted of my show for that soon but for now here is a sneak peek of what I’ve been doing the past couple of months with @blackcherrypuppettheater for the @creativealliancebaltimore Halloween lantern parade. Come by Saturday October 24th to Patterson Park to see some beautiful lantern puppets! Festival starts at 4 parade at 7!

Just a reminder that all banshees and other wailing specters are always welcome at our live concerts; we only ask that all shrieks be saved for the time between songs.

“Blacksnake” appears on our album SPELLS + RITUALS. This performance was filmed live at @theramblinghouse.
