Wow!
It’s been a while. It’s time. As you might have already heard, Out Of Your Head in Baltimore will be switching to every odd week of the month. Some people have expressed concern that this might be hard to remember, but OOYH is odd, and we’re on the odd weeks, so it makes a lot of good sense. So that will be the 1st, 3rd, and if there is a 5th Tuesday in a given month then we will have Out Of Your Head on that one as well. We are also going to change the format so that each performance features two bands, playing one set each at 9:30 and 11:00, still at the wonderful venue that is The Windup Space, and still FREE!!.
We have some very exciting groups coming up on the schedule, so be sure to come get your dose of free, freely improvised music!
Anyhow, here’s the schedule—->

Hey Friends, just a heads up to let you know that Out of Your Head Brooklyn now has their very own website. The website you are on now (outofyourhead.org) will keep up-to-date with the Baltimore chapter of the series (which has been running every Tuesday night at The Windup Space for almost four years!). Info on the younger brother series in Brooklyn (approaching 9 months of age…it could be a fully developed fetus) will now be found at outofyourhead.org/brooklyn Check it out for a full schedule through December, new videos and sounds coming soon. Thanks!

After a short break for OOYH BK we’re back with an all-new schedule for the next four months. I can’t thank my friend Josh Sinton enough for his help co-curating this cycle of OOYH. He had a very unique approach to scheduling and he’s come up with an amazing set of bands that will be performing from now until December. Some sets to watch out for are a quartet of drummers (!) on November 4, and Baltimore/Brooklyn night on October 7, when three friends from OOYH Baltimore will come up to perform on the Brooklyn series.
As always these shows are 1st and 3rd Sundays at Freddy’s Bar and Backroom (627 5th Ave, South Slope, BK). Sets are at 9:30 and 11pm, always no cover but donations are encouraged and greatly appreciated. Hope to see you out at some of these…I am VERY excited for what’s in store. If you see Josh (and I’m sure you will) buy him a beer for his efforts…he put a lot of work into this!
