Open Mic Network Update – January 18th, 2010

sunmic Hi everybody,

Last weeks Open Mic @ The Dan would be up there for me as one of the busiest I’ve ever encountered, and the talent… there was musical talent coming from every direction.

I had an absolute ball.

It was so busy that both Darren and I decided to start the Open Mic a half an hour early to fit everybody in and even then we still had to turn people away (thankfully they stuck around and enjoyed the music anyway).

We had three new faces grace the Open Mic stage. First of all we had the singer/guitarist and the bass player from a band called Sycamore Road play some of their wonderful originals. I felt an instant connection as the bass player plays a Musicman Stingray 5 just like I do. NICE

Secondly we had Dennan Welch who has come over to Adelaide from the US and was keen to impress the crowd with his beautifully crafted acoustic songs. He succeeded in impressing the crowd. The last new face was Aggie Harris whose delicate vocals and music captured the hearts of the audience. I would love to hear more of Aggie’s music as I had missed some of it due to attending to other things.
