 All
performers are welcome to participate in this event that has produced
some of our brightest performers, including: Shawn Colvin, Dana Carvey,
Alvin Youngblood Hart, and Patrick Landeza.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS!
One unique aspect of our Open Mic is that, unlike those held in noisy

you will be playing to a supportive group of friends and performers who
are actually listening!!!

His stock in trade comes in the form of classically styled folk songs intermingled with clever storytelling, always reminding one and all of his father, the beloved singer/writer/philosopher Woody Guthrie.
