TIMKO - OPEN MIC NIGHTS
I have hosted weekly open mic at various venues for almost 10 years.
My job is two-fold. One, to keep the flow going, be organized and entertaining for the venue customers. Two, create a place where new and seasoned performers feel welcome.
Ultimately, my goal is to offer a safe, relaxed and informal gathering of musicians and music fans that build engagement and community.
If the musician list gets short, I'll jump in and play upbeat, popular covers songs, solo acoustic and cater to the patrons in each particular venue to keep them engaged and entertained (which means they stay longer, and spend more).
My song selection is a wide array, from modern indie, to 90’s/80’s etc. Depending on the room, I can throw in classic rock, country, blues, reggae, and some Dead as well. An appropriate volume for the room and a balanced sound are a key feature in keeping the guests happy.
