Mouthful of Graffiti

One look at her social media platforms and you’ll see that Kaly Clauss is as much of a plantsman as she is a musician. Her music has a folksy blunt with a kiss of southern spirit and her lyrics are a magic carpet ride back to a time when life seemed simpler. 

It’s all sewn together with sturdy roots and a touch of post-modernism. She loves home, time alone with her plants and pen and more importantly, protecting her heart with Squishmallows. Join me in welcoming Kaly Clauss to THE MOG.

Justin Walters and Emelle Elizabeth have been active in the Mid-Atlantic rock music scene for over a decade. It wasn’t until they joined forces in the late 2010’s that they’d find an undeniable vibration with Eternal Frequency. With Justin crunchin’ and stompin’ rhythms with his Epiphone, laying the foundation for their mammoth sonic assault, and Emelle’s angelic and soaring vocals, their modern alternative rock music is powerful and full of as much passion as it is hooks. They drove a long way to be here today and I couldn’t be more thrilled for them to be on the show. Join me in welcoming Justin Walters and Emelle Elizabeth to THE MOG!

If you’re in the Baltimore music scene, you’ve probably seen the epic artwork or heard the aggressive music of Kyle Rigsby’s Old Foes project. He began recording as early as 2021 and hasn’t let up. 

He’s currently about to release his 9th single and, with any luck, a full-length album is also on the horizon. He’s a solo artist with a pension for diversity and old school metal riffage and he’s able to find melody in dissonance. 

I couldn’t be happier to have him on the show. Join me in welcoming the Old Foe himself, Mr. Kyle Rigsby, to THE MOG!

Earlier this week, I reached out to a few of Brian Rumbley’s close friends and peer musicians to put together a special episode, in light of Brian’s recent medical emergency. I would like to preface this by saying, ‘Brian is alive and well,’ but he could use all of our support in navigating through this difficult and uncertain time. 

The first guy to sign up is a guy I’ve been wanting to get on the show for some time and he’s here today to kick-off this very special MOG POD. Since he’s also the first one to show-up, we’re going to dedicate a little of this episode to John Mauer, followed by a few LIVE performances from some of Brian Rumbley’s closest peers and friends.  

So, Brian, this one’s for you; I speak for all of us when I say that we can’t wait to hear you slappin’ the bass in the near future. Godspeed, friends.

Kelly Bell has been rockin’ the Mid-Atlantic for decades. His unique blend of rock, blues and funk has influenced the entire Baltimore music scene for a lot of years and by the looks of it, he’s nowhere near finished. 

Still on the heels of his latest release ‘Know My Name’ he can be found crisscrossing the region celebrating life, light and funk. Whether he’s rockin’ a stage or droppin’ The People’s Elbow in a wrestlin’ ring, he’s always here moving us with his soulful voice and big personality. 

I couldn’t be happier to have Kelly on the show to find out where it all started for this ‘Homegrown’ artist – one thing is for sure, when it comes to rhythm and blues, he’s been on the ‘Long Train’ and in the words of Bon Scott knows 'It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock n’ roll.'

If you think you don’t know who Matt Boyitz is, you’re 100% wrong! Matt has been performing with bands in the Mid-Atlantic area for over two decades; bands like Seven Days Torn, Rosabella, Tim Lockemy and most recently Rise Among Rivals to name a few. 

Even if you didn’t know him by name, you’d probably recognize him  on or off stage wearing his trademark beanie that just covers his eyes. But, behind the mystery hat is a very down-to-Earth, hardworking and accomplished musician, who has found a passion for the bass guitar, which means he’ll always have a job. 

He’s got a lot of new music coming and a lot to share. Join me in welcoming Matt Boyitz Long to the gosh darn MOG!

You may have heard Caprichos Books mentioned on this show, as they’ve been a loyal sponsor of The MOG since its inception, but Liz Decker isn’t just a bookstore owner;  she’s a savvy, hardworking and strategic business woman, a mother, photographer and supporter of all things local. 

She recently moved to the shore, but she’s in town and invited herself onto the show to catch us up on what she’s been up to. I’m super excited to have her on. Join me in welcoming Liz Decker to the flip-flappin’ MOG!

Tony Baltimore, known in Baltimore as Tony Durante, is a singer-songwriter musician who currently resides in Key West, Florida. Though he’s in the Land of Sunshine and pleasant living, he’s anything but a #Parrothead. 

Sure, he’ll strum your favorite songs upon request, but his current focus is his new album dropping on June 17th through Conch Town Records. He’s carved out his dream of being a professional musician over the past 12 years and he’s here today to tell us how it all came to be. Join me in welcoming Tony Baltimore to The MOG!
