Billy Zenn runs a great open mike at Shrunken Head. Sign up names are drawn from a hat for time slots - very fair system - great sound and lights, good drinks and food, really warm atmosphere

Good open mic. Very professional set-up. Runs on time and highly organized. Make sure you are there by 7:30 for sign-up.

Maybe it's an open mic in transition: it was Victorian's and now it's Shrunken Head. Crazy Pete was a semi-host, but now it's Billy Zenn (who used to run the Thirsty Ear open mic). I've gone twice in about a 4-week span and saw the same players and same people. It's almost like an "open mic club" (and I saw them all at the Thirsty Ear before this - are they following Zenn?). The music and musicians are good and you'll be glad you heard them, but more people need to come to generate some variety. They also know how the sound equipment works, which Crazy Pete never figured out in all the years he was there. Personally, I'd like to see this open mic grow.

Sign up begins at 7:00. Music starts at 8.

Justin does a tremendous job keeping the musicians flowing. Pianists (yup, there's a piano there), guitarists, duos… all were welcome in this wonderfully funky joint. You'll want to get there soon - the lease is up this year and the owners may not renew.
