World-renowned bass Morris Robinson hosts and curates a special, one-night-only concert of opera and gospel.

Join us for an evening at the Gazebo with songwriters Greg Rekus (on tour from Winnipeg!) and Teething Veils. Greg Rekus “plays acoustic guitar and sings and dances around on a 4 x 4 x 1 stage with tamborines mounted to it.” Teething Veils (guitarist/vocalist Greg Svitil) plays soft, reflective songs for solo acoustic guitar and voice.
Come join the music and fun as Carroll Cafe welcomes back Ruthie and the Wranglers to our stage. With over 30 WAMMIES, you don’t want to miss their heavenly harmonies and range of styles.

This is the rarest of all things – a listening room open mic!
Sponsored in conjunction with Institute of Musical Traditions and School of Musical Traditions at SMT’s new lesson space in Takoma Park, we’ve got a small room for performances and we’re not afraid to use it. This is NOT a restaurant so bring your own food or drink if you want to eat or drink! (no alcohol please, and of course please clean up after yourself). House keyboard in the house. The night is free to attend, but we hope that you’ll support our featured artist with tips and adoration. Scroll back to the top of this page for our next feature…
We’re not big enough for amps or drumkits, so don’t bring’em. 2 songs, 10 minutes, 1 pun – whichever’s shorter. Webcasting Live on Facebook.com/robsopenmics, YouTube.com/robsopenmics and Twitch.tv/ilyaimy.
Carroll Cafe is so happy to be re-opening our venue with two amazing performers – Phil Wiggins, who will rock the house with his nationally recognized harmonica playing, and Hubby Jenkins, formerly of The Carolina Chocolate Drops.

Please note: we will no longer be serving food & drinks. You are welcome to bring your own, drinks should be non-alcoholic please, and you must bring your own containers to take home with you – thanks for your understanding.
