Mercury Café

Open Mic at the Merc (music, comedy)
Every Wednesday at 7:30pm

Hosted by Danger Dan, Sean Morse and Nathan Perry

Just chat with a musician that attends this venue. It's still going.
Howard Cunniffe (11/2008): Two mikes and a basic PA. No monitors. Plug instruments into the PA. Piano available on stage. Stage can easily accommodate 4 or more musicians. Playing order governed by draw of lots (at 8 pm), which is when music starts (not 7:30 as stated in the listing). Play 15 minute sets (3 to 4 songs). Host controls the mix (and could give it more attention--guitars were generally too hot). A lot of acoustic guitar (including instrumentals). Some original songs, some covers, mostly contemporary vintage. Four standup comics last night. Perform sitting (chairs--didn't see a stool) or standing. Audience was 30+ (number), almost all under 35 (age). Nice applause for every act. Nice room--could easily hold 50+. $2 beer.
Jim Butler (3/2005): Crowds vary, but there are usually 20-30 folks in the audience to hear this easy-going open mic in a relaxed, cabaret-style atmosphere.
D. Strom (7/2004): Melissa Ivey - every first wed of the month
