*** Announcing a NEW OPEN MIC on Thursdays in Melrose, 7:30-10:30pm. 

- I have been asked to host their first one, THURS. APRIL 7th, to kick off the weekly event. The club will handle hosting duties beyond that. I am personally excited about this because, my hometown of Melrose is a sleepy town with no late nights nor regular live music, but the club has the go-ahead to make this happen. Yee-haw. I'll be a staple. Plus, they've got great beer prices. Starting off with 3 song sets, house PA w/ 4 channels, 2 mics and guitar cables provided.

Check it out!

• Knights of Columbus, 23 W. Foster St., Melrose, Second Floor
• 7:30 -10:30pm
• House PA System w/ 4 Channels, 2 mics, guitar cables.
• 3 Song Sets
• Sign up: first come, first serve
• Lively bar room atmosphere.
• (Under 21 needs to be accompanied by parent/guardian and exit by 9pm)
