In the interest of covering all the spots where the endangered musician’s open mic still exists, despite the cruelly relentless forces of American decline, I would like to note that the Crisp Lounge is hosting a free one tonight. The music starts at 7 p.m., sign-up begins 15 minutes earlier, which is the same amount […]

I haven’t checked in on Blondie’s in a while, so in deference to that sweet little venue in my old neighborhood, Here’s a two-fer for the evening. Starting at 5 p.m. and running for two hours, the lively open mic will be happening, then after a pause, at 8 p.m., you can enjoy a showcase […]

Ah, Tuesdays are notoriously slow this time of year as well. However, you can still grab an instrument and roll over to the Siren’s Song Tavern at 8 p.m. to join in on the weekly open jam. Fair warning: The scene is fairly Grateful Dead-ish, so if that isn’t your thing, perhaps go check out […]

Music Tonight: Monday, Nov. 21
The Siren’s Song Tavern is hosting a paranormal open mic at 7 p.m. While not entirely certain, I suspect that this entails sharing your own anecdotes about strange encounters with like-minded fellow travelers. It’s free, and probably good for a shiver or a laugh.

After quietly opening four years ago, the place has steadily built a solid reputation for craft beer and cider, eclectic […]
