Hosting the Treehouse Open mic
Mike Romano is on vacation, so this week I’m hosting the Treehouse open mic in Audubon, NJ. I hosted this open mic back in ’04 when it was in Collingswood. It starts at 7:30pm, so come on out. http://www.treehousecoffee.net

Playing @ Studio Luloo on Tuesday
I’m the featured artist this week at Studio Luloo’s open mic night. If you’ve never been to their weekly event, use this as a good excuse to check it out. It’s at 916 white horse pike in Oaklyn, NJ across from Froggies liquor. It’s BYOB and has tons of great musicians, poets, and performers.

Open Mic @ The Auction House
It took me a few months, but I finally made it out to the new open mic that is literally about 2 blocks from my house.? Audubon’s Auction House on Merchant Street now has a weekly open mic night on Wednesdays hosted by Russ.? There were about 50 people there! I ended up going on…

Open Mic @ Studio Luloo
Last night I stopped by Studio LuLoo’s open mic again and had a nice time. Mark Rice was the featured artist and he had a nice mellow sound. So mellow a guy near me passed out on the couch. Hah. A guy named Pat rocked a version of Mayonnaise by Smashing Pumpkins and I think…

Open Mic @ Studio LuLoo
John Shaughnessy suggested I check out the open mic at Studio Luloo so last Tuesday I did. Singer/songwriter/fire escaper Sara O’Brien owns the studio and she’s making a great effort in turning it into a successful business. She holds music events at night and other times has art classes and workshops for kids. I can…

Open Mic @ The Roadhouse
Last night was the first night I played out anywhere since ye olde hand injury. It’s healing well, but I’ll have a nice scar that may be my downfall if I ever commit a crime and the witness gets a good look at my hand. The hand felt great and I played a long set…

Open Mic Recap @ The Living Room
This is actually a recap of last Monday’s open mic at the Living Room in Collingswood. I was late in getting there, so I missed Broken Bones, the featured artists this week. Many of the regular performers were sick or at least pretended to be, but you couldn’t tell from the performances. Jason, Adrien, Willie…

How I Would Run an Open Mic
I’ve played at dozens of open mics and I’ve seen the good, the bad, the dead, the crowded, the annoying, etc. There are a few things the host should always do when hosting an open mic. The sign up sheet should be available well before the show starts. Ideally the open mic has an Internet…

Open Mic Recap @ The Living Room
The Living Room has a great mix of regular performers these days, although I’d like to see someone new once and a while. The inbreeding is getting a little rampant and I think someone needs to come in and throw something new into the show. I think my favorite point of the night was when…

Open Mic Recap @ the GSP
The GSP open mic hasn’t been this good in a long time. Adrien drove up with me to Grape Street for the first time and she sounded amazing as usual. Jeremy Hollis’s song about making out with “two chicks at one time” had a great vibe to go along with the material. Leroy Montana must…

Open Mic Recap @ The Living Room
I was the featured artist yesterday at the Living Room’s open mic and overall the show went pretty well. My sound was a little screwy at times, but that happens. I played a new song called “DRM Sucks” about how Digital Rights Management could possibly invade our privacy and limit our freedoms, but unfortunately the…

Open Mic Recap @ The Living Room
Adrian is so far above everyone at the Living Room (or almost anywhere else) that it’s almost embarrassing. I had to follow her tonight and even I would have rather seen her play another song. A ton of other great performers came out tonight, too(Keith, Roz, Maria, Willie, Lee and great keyboard player named Alan).…

Open Mic Recap
Some very talented irregulars showed up at the Grape last night, including the Day Rubies and Senatobia. The guys who went right after me sat on the floor while they played. Strangely, it helped draw attention to their performance. I also really liked the guy from Nashville (I don’t remember his name, but that happens…

Open Mic Recap: The Living Room
The Living Room’s open mic was a lot of fun tonight. Jason Wheatly, Roz King, Keith Lewis, and Willie Tapps all put on great performances. Adrien and John blew everyone away with two originals and I’m sure they’ll be playing around a lot. I also enjoyed the guy who went right before me, John Romeo,…

Open Mic: The Living Room
I’ll probably check out the new Monday night open mics over at the Living Room in Collingswood, NJ (corner of Haddon and Collings Ave). I’m not sure if it’s just me, but their coffee seems a lot better than it used to be. This site seems almost ready to go live now.

Open Mic: Last Night
Last night’s open mic’s at the Living Room and the Caribbean Crab went pretty well. First up was the Living Room in Collingswood which doesn’t have a website, but has a pretty good review on South Jersey News. The rain and graduation ceremonies scared away alot of the people who sign up early for this…

Open Mic: The Living Room and the Crab
Tonight I’ll be appearing at both the Living Room in Collingswood, NJ (corner of Haddon Ave and Collings Ave, 856-833-0060, 8:00PM) and the Caribbean Crab (Route 30 in Oaklyn, near Taco Bell, 10:00PM). These are both open mics, so anyone can come up and play. The Living Room’s list tends to fill up fast, so…

Open Mic at the Point
Last night was my first time playing at the Point in Bryn Mawr, PA. I had heard a lot of good things about it and its host, Andy Kimbel, and I was glad to see it lived up to my expectations. Andy plainly states the open mic’s unconventional policies on the sign up and information…
