Spring Open Mics at the Merchant's House!

Announcing the March 25, April 29, May 27 Open Mic Nites at the Merchant's House Museum

Come to share your work or simply enjoy. Bring friends! Wine & light refreshments will be served.

If you’d like to perform, please bring no more than 5 minutes of material; sign-up available upon entry.

A Beautiful Night for an Open Mic

A musical performance from the Merchant's House September Open Mic in the Garden.

Last night, I hosted the Merchant's House Museum's second Open Mic in the Garden, and it was an overwhelming success. We had poetry readings, group singing, guitar playing, and plenty of drama (on stage, of course). The weather held and the wine was excellent, and the House's new garden lights provided the perfect ambient glow.

I'm also proud to announce: we've decided to make this an ongoing monthly series! Dates are still to be determined, but follow the Merchant's House on Facebook or Twitter (or keep checking back here) for more information.
