I will be hosting a new Open Mic the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 8 - 10 p.m. at Black Cat Sports Bar & Grill on south 32 in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. We already have a solid commitment from six area musicians, and others say they will come when available.
This is an Open Mic, not an Open Jam. And we'd prefer that folks perform to real musical instruments (not boom boxes), although we won't turn away someone who doesn't play an instrument. Because we want to keep it intimate, we'd like to limit the open mic to one or two-piece groups. A PA & mics will be provided. Original and cover tunes welcome. Note: Families will be dining in the back room, so we ask that you avoid songs with explicit lyrics. And all performers will be issued a free drink coupon which must be used the same evening.
Come early to sign up, if you wish (but we don't expect musicians to be lined up around the building).
Open Mics are a wonderful thing. The provide a venue for newbies as well as seasoned performers. Songwriters can try out new tunes on the audience to see what reaction they get which spurs them to write more. It's camaraderie at its best!
Don't get me started on the subject of DJ's!
