FIRST SATURDAYS OPEN MIC REMINDER | VOLUME 19.
RAFFLE:
Brothers K and Thomas Cray are happy to announce our 2009 First Saturdays Summer Raffle! TICKETS are only $1.00 and can be purchased at the June 6 open Mic, where we will be drawing our winner at 7:30PM. The raffle is for:
- a First Saturday's T-Shirt (Size: XL)
- a set of Martin Phosphor Bronze Guitar Strings (light gauge: .012-.054)
- a $10.00 Brothers K Gift Certificate
- a Brothers K Travel Mug!
We unfortunately found out that Paypal can not be used for raffle tickets so you can ONLY purchase them at the June 6 Open Mic
LADIES NIGHT:
May brought an unprecedented amount of new talent to our Open Mic... and many of the new performers were female! Now anyone who's been to an open mic or two will tell you how rare this is. One, maybe two is par. Nine is extraordinary! (Tisa, Carla, Sara, Sandi, Melanie, Julia, Colleen, Carrie, and Cindy). June will be our 19th Open Mic and I must say I can still be surprised at what the night will have in store for us as I make my trek down the street to set up for a First Saturday!
COLLABORATE:
Thanks for all the kind words about the collaboration between John, Nick and I, that opened May's show. It's always nice to hear that our experiments succeed and reach the audience. Hopefully we (and other performers doing the same) can inspire more musicians to try collaborative performances in future First Saturdays.
THE NEXT FIRST SATURDAYS OPEN MIC
is SATURDAY, June 6, FROM 6-8PM (with SIGN-UP BEGINNING AT 5:30) held, as always, at Evanston's favorite Coffee House, BROTHERS K, located at 500 Main Street, just 1 block from the Metra and El stations.
NOTE: To be sure to get a seat and/or your name on the sign-up sheet make sure to be there by 5:30.
Thanks, as always, for everyone's time and support.
Your host,
Thomas Cray
