Hosting my last Open Mic at The Old Gallery in Allenspark, CO

I have a special place in my heart for this beautiful little Colorado Mountain Community. I had my first Mountain musical experiences there hosting an open mic at The Tapestry of Life Cafe that is NO MORE, but many folks I met there 18 years ago come to the Old Gallery Open mic so it always feels so special to me. I put out the sign up sheet by 5:30 and it fills up FAST and I can’t put folks in slots ahead of time. Come up the mountain and warble with us!!

OH, and there is one more open mic there in October, but it’s related to a Halloween party and my friend Banjo Bev hosts it every year, not me. check out their website for details.

Hosting NEW Songwriters only Open Mic at Brewing Market/Espresso Vino Lafayette

I say “new” b/c the newer management are more committed to music but this will be the 3rd time I have hosted this location. They are not an ascap/bmi licensed location for cover music, so only original music is allowed at this point. The buzz is growing and It’s a beautiful wine room attached to the Brewing Market Cafe so you can pick your beverage and enjoy some music from talented locals on a Tuesday night. We moved it later as they are staffing now a bit later then usual Coffeehouse hours to accommodate musicians and music listeners. I will put the sign-up sheet out at 5.

Appearing at The Coffeehouse @ Chestnut & Pine Open Mic Burlington, WI

“The Coffeehouse” was my home stomping grounds when I lived in McHenry County, IL, Lake Geneva, WI and Burlington itself for a couple of years. I attended the very first Open Mic at this venerable building and watched the Sullivan Family turn it into the jewel that it is with wonderful food and beverages from it’s own kitchen/bakery and the swanky “Liars Club Speakeasy” bar upstairs topped off with a great raised stage and topnotch music system for local and touring musicians. They are partnered with the local Burlington High School Radio Station too. I’m so happy to be swinging through again!
