What a lineup on Wednesday at the DIY space in Charles Village. Viking Moses has been making music and touring the world for two decades and only recently settled in Batimore. We should consider ourselves very lucky to have him. Vayda and Amanda Glasser are also fantastic songwriters that each play a nice mix of beautiful, dreamy pop and folk tunes.
