Baby's On Fire
by Brian Eno
Many people have asked us over the years about the name of the shop and it’s origin, this usually turns into an interesting conversation. The name comes from a Brian Eno song from the early ‘70s. So, who is this Brian Eno person? He started his music career in a glam-rock band called Roxy Music before going solo. He recorded a couple pop albums along the way and has been called the inventor of ambient music. He’s also a pretty prolific music producer having worked with the likes of David Bowie, Talking Heads, Devo, U2 & Coldplay

About Us
Located in the historic Mount Vernon neighborhood of Baltimore, Baby's On Fire opened June 10, 2016. It serves locally roasted Open Seas Coffee, breakfast & lunch all day and the shop doubles as a record store, carrying a curated selection of new & used vinyl records.
Owners David and Shirlé Koslowski have been involved in the Baltimore music scene for a number of years, starting with the city’s post-punk heyday of the early 90’s, performing in bands like Liquor Bike, WOD (Womyn of Destruction), Gerty and currently with Vivid Low Sky.
They've been keeping up their chops in other ways as well. Shirlé is also the owner of Four Corners Cuisine, a personal chef service for 15 years and has served everyone from Ravens football players to doing food styling for House of Cards. In the meantime, David’s built up a successful career as a designer—when he’s not scouring the crates for vinyl treasures.
The couple has had this dream for about 20 years now, to open a cool and comfortable space where their community could get together for smart conversations about music, records, and well, life, while enjoying a great cup of coffee and a delicious meal. Now that dream is Baby’s On Fire.
The name Baby’s On Fire comes from a song by one of their favorite artists Brian Eno.
