(ADMISSION IS $5 AT THE DOOR. SIGN UP IN PERSON.)
If you have the blues, play the blues, or love the blues we got you covered! Caffè Lena and The Saratoga Acoustic Blues Society team up to present a monthly acoustic blues open mic.
The night opens with a 20 minute set by Bob Westcott. Bob's career began in the 60's playing guitar in the streets and basket houses of Greenwich Village. He then moved to Manchester, England to explore the British folk and blues scene. One time owner of Folk City and famed chronicler of the Greenwich Village folk scene Robbie Woliver has called Bob "the real deal" for good reason: Bob has been perfecting his elegant finger-style guitar work for well over 30 years. Bob is a member of the Long Island Blues Society, and has performed for over twenty years at the annual Cedar Beach Blues and Roots festival in addition to performing as a solo performer and with his band The Defibrillators at the Riverhead Blues Festival and Great South Bay Music Festival on Long Island
Bring your acoustic guitar, harps, slides, mandolin, bass or whatever (Lena's has the piano) and sign up for a slot to play solo, as a duo, ensemble or even have players in the room join you on stage.
Acoustic Blues Open Mic is held on the 4th Wednesday of the month and is hosted by Sonny Speed. Sign up is 7 pm. Names are pulled out of a lottery at 7:30. A monthly featured act opens up and the open mic follows 8 PM. Admission is $5 at the door.
