The Open Mic Network

Open Mic Network Update – June 21st, 2010

Hi everybody,

Last weeks Open Mic @ The Dan was a fantastic showcase of the present and emerging musical talent in Adelaide. It’s amazing what talent is out there and I’m so glad that the Open Mic Network enables people to have a place to develop themselves as a performer and their songs if they write them.

There was one new face who graced the Open Mic stage and his name is Brett Dunham who came from Perth to participate. I’m sure he was doing other stuff in SA but I like to think that all roads lead to the Open Mic @ The Dan.

Since Brett first found out about the Open Mic Network via the internet he and I have exchanged a number of phone calls and emails and it was a pleasure to meet up with him for the first time last week. I must say that Brett’s performance blew me and a number of audience members away.

Can’t wait to catch up again.

SCALA “From Open Mic To Stage #2″
Last Thursdays SCALA songwriting showcase was a bit thin on the crowd front but not on the talent front. Even though there were some initial sound issues to contend with, all performers played to an inch of their lives to the small but deeply appreciative crowd.

Jane & Sam

Joe Murphy

Anthony D’Antonio

The next “From Open Mic To Stage” showcase will happen in a couple of months time. I’ll let you know more details as they arise.

SCALA FOOM Songwriting Competition
Speaking about all things SCALA, just a reminder that time to enter your song in SCALA’s FOOM (Festival Of Original Music) Songwriting Competition is fast running out as entries close on July 1st. For more information on FOOM go to the SCALA website.
