On Saturday June 7th, in the Highland Town neighborhood of Baltimore, MD local recording artists, “Playground Etiquette” took the stage at the GREEK FESTVAL on a sunny, hot & humid afternoon. Not didn’t hold back, they kicked off the event with a bang and started rockin’ the stage with some of their own music which is out of this world.
Athena Hiotis rocks the stage with her Custom Fender Telecaster
Athena Hiotis, the lead vocalist, guitarist, keyboard player and co-writer of their music is an absolute musical genius. Together with her childhood friend, Nicholas (Nik) Kosmas, bass player, vocalist and musical engineer of the band, co-wrote the songs on their new album "La Marionnette" just recently released.
They have a unique musical relationship that makes their band very hot ! They also have a young lady who sings and plays a mean electric violin. Her name is Lisa Christine. That day, their regular drummer and lead guitarist were no able to make the gig so they had a friend of theirs sit in on drums and he was great. I wish I would had gotten his name because it’s always good to have great musicians contact info at your fingertips.
That day, Nik and Athena asked me (MUSICIAN by Night) to sit-in with them on a blues number so I took them up on their offer and grabbed by go-to axe, my 2004 Gibson Les Paul Standard and plugged into their Fender Deluxe amp and I was off and ready to rock n’ roll.
“Playground Etiquette” and my new band “Remains Nameless” is planning a weekend Blues Rock & Classic Rock Festival in the Metro DC market. Stay tuned for more information as it develops. We are looking forward to that event . . .
We are still looking for the perfect name for our band so if you have any good suggestions, please send them in to BJanicki57@hotmail.com and if your suggestion is chosen for our official band name, we will post it on our FACEBOOK page and I’ll do the same on my MUSICIAN by Night FB page. Until then . . .
Until next time, remember to help “SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC” . . .
