Larry Hoyt, WAER radio host of Common Threads, is the guest host for Open Mic Friday on October 18 at 7:00 pm. The venue is the McCrobie Civic Center, 41 Lake Street in Oswego.
Larry Hoyt leads off at 7:00 followed by performers who sign up that night. Sign-up begins at 6:30 when doors open. Musicians typically play three songs each, depending on the numbers signing up.
All ages and experience levels are welcome. Budding performers, singer-songwriters and musicians of most all genre are given an opportunity to perform in a supportive environment using cutting edge professional sound equipment managed by trained sound technicians and college audio engineer interns.
There is a suggested donation of $2 at the door. The atmosphere is casual. Light refreshments are available.
Open Mic Fridays take place every two weeks on the eve of the Music Hall’s Saturday concerts. Local music luminaries emcee each event. The fall series continues with Irv Lyons Jr. November 1, Bob Halligan Jr. November 15, and Kennadee December 6.
Open Mic starts up again in the new year on February 21 with guest host Cam Caruso and on March 6 Joanne Sherwood and March 20 Marc Warner.
