Greetings!
Know any percussionists, singers, sax players, guitar soloists that can’t sing, etc.? It seems these types of people are under the impression that our open mics are not for them. Au contraire, mon frére, we have and can make opportunities for playing, sitting in on a solo, adding background harmony, leading a song w/ simple chord progressions, etc. Its not karaoke or a blues jam, but it is a great way to meet new people in our music community and expand our musicianship.

9:30 – Ken Carter
Ken Carter writes heartfelt poetry that shoots arrows at realism. Each well-penned song is accompanied by his own rhythmic, percussive guitar work and a whiskey voice reminiscent of Ray LaMontagne and Van Morrison.
