This week Open Mic will be held on Wednesday due to Thanksgiving. Come on down! Starts at 7PM. Let's rock. New drums ready for your sticks.

So glad that the storm didn't hit us on Thursday! It rained though, but it didn't stop all the musicians attending in Halloween costumes. And they rocked the house down. Artie was memorable playing Hurt by Johnny Cash in a dead cowboy costume. Jimmie Jam was wild in his Braveheart jamming on the drums - plus so many other great performances. Norm Roux - in between performing - brought out "Evil". And his puppeteering was great! The patrons had a blast - a lot of colorful and some really strange costumes, dancing up a storm, prizes given out and the place was packed right to closing time. This was our 1st Annual Open Mic Halloween Party and the committee is set already for next year!

Got a great video of you guys playing Crossroads at the Open Mic Halloween Party! Check it out: youtube.com/watch?v=3ZdQYraUVkk

Absolutely! You would be our first. And I believe it would be a nice addition. To see what we're all about - come on down tonight. We're having our first halloween party with the open mic musicians. Bring some friends, too, if you like. It'll be a little crazy, I'm sure. But it would be nice to meet you. Once there, ask for Sharlene.
