Man, how time flies. I cannot believe it’s time for Maha again. On Wednesday, August 14, 2019 Maha kicked off in glorious fashion with art, lectures, dogs and of course music. Little Bohemia played host and several businesses stayed open late to accommodate everyone who attended. Glass blower Corey Broman has for 17 years created incredible pieces of art with fire, clippers and his breath. Roland Fitz which opened last April and who sells vintage male and female apparel hosted the Queerniverse Music Video Premiere and featured DJ Crabrangucci. Coneflower Creamery was there in pop-up fashion and speaking of pop-up, there was an Artist Market which featured everything imaginable. Archetype Coffee offered up Stephen Bartolomei and Brigitte McQueen Shew who gave us the Team Human Show.
The attraction that drew the most people was at the Tiny Bar. It was a PetFriendly Direct & Dog Bar “Pup-up”. Aly Peeler and Andrew Bailie performed on the front deck and were assisted by their trusted uke case named Phillip. My favorite event was seeing Bokr Tov behind the Grain & Mortar / Vincent Outfitting building. These guys really are talented. Exceptional skills and an ear for music like no others. Layers upon layers of sound without being overwhelming. Possibly, my new favorite Omaha band.
