			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-47  alignleft" title="sunmic" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/sunmic-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hi everybody,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Last weeks <strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong> which was the first one for 2011 was also one of our best ever. It was so busy that we had to start at 7:30pm instead of 8pm just to fit everybody in.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What really struck me about last weeks <strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong> was the quality of talent on offer. I know I&#8217;ve said this many times before but I&#8217;m constantly amazed and astounded by the amount of talent that is circulating in Adelaide and I consider myself very lucky to be able to see and hear this talent week in and week out through hosting the Open Mics at The Dan and the Third Cork.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I love it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition to having a very busy night we had three new faces grace the Open Mic stage and captivate the audience with their performances. First of all there was <strong>Max</strong> who was one half of a duo with open mic&#8217;er <strong>David Lane</strong>. With their electric guitar/bass combination they performed three of their own songs which impressed the crowd greatly.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-703" title="davidandmax" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMAG00051.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>David &amp; Max</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Secondly we had <strong>Chris McBride</strong> who was in fine voice last week doing a wonderful version of &#8220;Castles In The Air&#8221; among other things and lastly, we had for the first time in a long time, a poet/spoken word artist take to the stage.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He goes under the name of <strong>Felix Street Poet</strong> and he entertained all of us with his witty views on life all done in a rapid fire &#8216;beat&#8217; poet delivery. For me, one of the highlights of the night was Felix&#8217;s poem simply titled &#8220;Wife&#8221; in which delivers well known phrases replacing &#8216;life&#8217; with &#8216;wife.&#8217; It was very funny indeed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-704" title="chrismcbride" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMAG0008.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Chris McBride</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-705" title="felixstreetpoet" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMAG0007.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Felix Street Poet</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All in all, last weeks <strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong> was a great event to be part of. Judging by what happened last week methinks that 2011 is going to be a HUGE year for the Open Mic Network.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>In other Open Mic Network news&#8230;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>New Competition Starts for 2011</strong><br />
As mentioned about a month ago the Open Mic @ The Third Cork on January 6th kicked off a year long competition in which you enter by simply turning up on any Open Mic Network sanctioned night and putting your name down on the running sheet.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The winner will be drawn at random at the end of 2011.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At this very moment the prize pool is empty but as of this week Darren and myself will be sourcing and putting together an amazing set of prizes that will benefit anyone who wants to promote their art-form and the prize pool will be growing constantly throughout the year as Darren and I secure more prizes along the way.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The progression of the prize pool will be documented through these updates throughout the year.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Experiments With MailChimp Going Well</strong><br />
Last week I sent out the first Open Mic Network update using the new MailChimp format and I&#8217;m pleased to say that it went off without a hitch. It&#8217;s my hope that using MailChimp for the Open Mic Network updates will enable me to better communicate with all of you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you want to find out more about MailChimp go to their website. If you&#8217;re experiencing any problems with the new updates please contact me.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Moving Over To A New Website</strong><br />
As well as moving over to a new email management system I&#8217;ll be moving the current Open Mic Network website located at www.openmicaustralia.com over to www.openmicnetwork.com as this better reflects the name and the overall concept of the network and the Open Mic community as a whole.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As well as a new domain there&#8217;s going to be a much needed design update but I&#8217;ll keep you all in the loop about this as new information comes to light.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here’s a reminder of what is happening in the coming weeks on the Open Mic Network:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Open Mic @ The Dan</span><br />

<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p>I think I can finally say that the cold and miserable winter that we had is now behind us and wonderful weather has taken it&#8217;s place. I can hear the collective sighs of relief of all the people who are tired of staying indoors.</p>
<p>Now is when it starts getting busy and I saw that last week at the <strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong> where we had 18 performers and a new performer named <strong>Catherine Migliore</strong> who started off proceedings with a spirited performance, fantastic.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-645" title="catherinemigliore" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/IMAG0001.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Catherine Migliore</strong></p>
<p>In contrast to The Dan was the October instalment of the <strong>Open Mic @ The Third Cork</strong>. It was slow to start but once it got going it was hard to stop and with new performers <strong>Tracey G</strong> and <strong>Renee</strong> keeping things going with their wonderful performances, the night is in good hands.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-646" title="traceyg" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/IMAG0008.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Tracey G (with DZ)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-647" title="renee" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/IMAG0010.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Renee</strong></p>
<p>Personally, I can&#8217;t wait until summer hits. <strong>The Open Mic @ The Third Cork</strong> is going to be <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">HUGE!</span></strong></p>
<p>In other Open Mic Network news&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>SCALA Open Mic Network Showcase #3</strong><br />
Just a reminder that the third SCALA Open Mic Network Showcase will take place at Higher Ground Arts Cafe on Thursday October 28th in which I&#8217;ll be taking the the stage as well as the songwriting talents of</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Martin Giebner</strong></li>

</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s going to be an awesome night so please put Thursday October 28th in your diary as a night you must keep free.</p>
<p><strong>Open Mic Network 4th Birthday Soon!</strong><br />
The very first <strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong> started on November 8th, 2006 which means that we&#8217;re coming up to our 4th birthday.</p>
<p>The Open Mic @The Dan&#8217;s 4th birthday will take place on Wednesday November 10th and I&#8217;m thinking that there should be some sort of theme happening but I&#8217;m not sure what. If you have any ideas please let me know.</p>
<p><strong>Who Is The Open Mic Addict?</strong><br />
The results are now in, the Top 5 Open Mic addicts are now known but I&#8217;m not going to announce it until the Open Mic @ The Dan&#8217;s 4th birthday bash so make sure you get on down. I&#8217;ve got a prize worked out and everything.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p>The weather been just perfect the last few days and with that comes the prospect of a very busy Spring and Summer season at the Open Mic Network. Last weeks <strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong> was well on its way to becoming a jam packed weekly event again.</p>
<p>Even though it was a challenge at times to be heard due to a rather boisterous group of road workers at the bar, the night was full of talent and some inspiring entertainment.</p>
<p>We had a full book including 2 new acts. The first new act were a duo consisting of <strong>Angeline and David</strong> and the second was a singer/songwriter who goes by the name of <strong>2 Unique</strong> who came in at the tail-end of the evening and proceeded to blow everybody away with her heartfelt songs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-639" title="angelinedavid" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/IMAG0004.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Angeline &amp; David</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-640" title="krisguitar" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/IMAG0002.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kris Selling His Guitar</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-641" title="crowd" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/IMAG0012.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">It Was Packed!</span></strong></p>
<p>It was also nice to welcome back some people who have been away for a while, people such as <strong>Harry Shulten</strong>, <strong>Brett Stokes</strong>, <strong>Tim Forth</strong>, <strong>Mike Trake</strong>, <strong>Martin Giebner</strong> and our resident heckler <strong>Kenny Green</strong>. It was a wonderful evening.</p>
<p><em>In other Open Mic Network news&#8230;</em></p>
<p><strong>Sunday Sessions = Not Continuing</strong><br />
It is with regret that I need to inform you all that management at The Dan have decided not to continue the Sunday Sessions @ The Dan concept. I want to first of all thank everyone who attended the sessions and witnessed an amazing array of acts</p>
<p>I also want to personally thank the artists who contributed their time and promotional efforts over the last three months into trying to make the Sunday Sessions work for all, <strong>Anthony D&#8217;Antonio</strong>, <strong>Courtney Robb</strong>, <strong>Kelly Menhennett</strong>, <strong>Simon Peter</strong>, <strong>Joe Man Murphy</strong> and especially <strong>Andy &amp; Marta</strong> who introduced some of the members of the Hillbilly Hoot to the Sunday Sessions.</p>
<p>Both Darren and I couldn&#8217;t have done these events without your support. Your willingness to help out is proof that we have a vibrant community that&#8217;s willing to work together to make things happen.</p>
<p><strong>Open Mic Addict Poll</strong><br />
I&#8217;m halfway through the count to find out who is the Open Mic Addict so I&#8217;m hoping that I&#8217;ll have an answer for you all next week. I must say that going through all of the Open Mic running sheets has been a fascinating experience, a great exercise is watching something grow and develop.</p>
<p><strong>SCALA Open Mic Network Showcase #3</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve almost finalised the line-up for the third SCALA Open Mic Network (formally called &#8220;From Open Mic to Stage&#8221;) Showcase gig happening on Thursday October 28th. I&#8217;m waiting on one more confirmation so when that comes through I&#8217;ll let everybody know via the updates and of course Facebook/MySpace.</p>
<p>Here’s a reminder of what is happening this week on the Open Mic Network:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Open Mic @ The Dan</span><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-47  alignleft" title="sunmic" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/sunmic-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hi everybody,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Last week had seen a steady increase in numbers attending the <strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong> and the last <strong>Sunday Sessions</strong> series of gigs respectively which is very, very encouraging. The warmer weather is now allowing people to stop hibernating and start getting out and about again.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Attendance at the <strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong> was a marked improvement from the last four weeks but it was the last Sunday Session that exceeded the expectations of everyone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It was a packed house and a packed running sheet plus there were some new faces thrown into the mix, five in total over both events. They were:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-631" title="iainwright" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG0010.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Iain Wright</strong> (great songs and great voice)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-632" title="brettgaltsmith" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG0015.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> Brett Galt-Smith</strong> (all the way from Canberra)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-633" title="stretch" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG00181.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> Stretch</strong> (from the Hillbilly Hoot)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-634" title="selfpreservationsociety" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG0027.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> The Self Preservation Society</strong> (Stylish from head to toe)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-635" title="mudhouse" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG0028.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> MudHouse</strong> (Heavy Metal Banjo madness)</p>
<p>Thanks for giving the Open Mic Network a go. You&#8217;re welcome anytime <img src='http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In other Open Mic Network news&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sunday Sessions, Will They Continue?</strong><br />
Now that the last of the trial series of 6 Sunday Sessions has finished, I&#8217;ll be speaking to Greg at The Dan this week to see if the concept will continue. Personally, I&#8217;d love to see it continue as a once a month thing to allow better promotion but we&#8217;ll see what Greg says.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Watch this space&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Open Mic @ The Third Cork</strong><br />
Just reminding everyone that the next Open Mic @ The Third Cork is not this Thursday because of it being the last day of September but the Thursday after which is October 7th (see below for more information).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Open Mic Showcase @ SCALA</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve been asked by Rob Childs at SCALA to put together the third Open Mic Showcase for the organisation. It will be on October 28th at Higher Ground Arts Cafe. I&#8217;ll let you know more details as they come to hand.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Who Is The #1 Open Mic Addict?</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve kept all of the running sheets since the first Open Mic @ The Dan on November 6th, 2006 (4th birthday soon) and just for fun I thought I&#8217;d set myself a challenge of finding out who is the #1 Open Mic Addict.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I reckon it would be really cool to find out which Open Mic&#8217;er is the one who has attended Open Mic Network events the most so this week I&#8217;m going to start counting and hopefully I&#8217;ll have an answer for you next update.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here’s a reminder of what is happening this week on the Open Mic Network:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Open Mic @ The Dan</span><br />
Wednesday September 29th, 2010<br />
Daniel O’Connell Hotel<br />
165 Tynte Street, North Adelaide<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> 8pm – Midnight</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Plus… Make sure you put this in your diary in <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #800000;">BOLD RED PEN!</span></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Open Mic @ The Third Cork</span><br />
Thursday October 7th, 2010<br />
Third Cork Wine Bar<br />
Upstairs, 26 Semaphore Road, S4<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> 8pm &#8211; Midnight(ish)</span></strong></p>
<p>Remember to get in early to reserve a spot on the running sheet as it can get very busy. I’ll be there from 6:30pm to take down names.</p>
<p>See you then,</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Hi everybody,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Last weeks <strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong> was again quieter than normal. This has been a trend over the last 4 weeks however, it has given performers an opportunity to perform more songs than ever before but the way I see it is that we all need to enjoy the calm before the Spring/Summer rush which is fast approaching.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I can feel it in my bones <img src='http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We had a new face grace the Open Mic stage. His name is <strong><a href="http://www.soultradermusic.com/" target="_blank">Simon James Betts</a></strong> and he goes under the name of <strong><a href="http://www.soultradermusic.com/" target="_blank">Soul Trader</a></strong>. He was playing songs that are regulars on his own performing repertoire. Personally, I&#8217;ve known Simon for a long time and it was great to see him performing his songs once again at The Dan.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-625" title="soultrader" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG00321.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Simon James Betts (aka Soul trader)</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Welcome Back Martin <img src='http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In other Open Mic Network news&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Just a quick reminder that the last <strong>Sunday Sessions @ The Dan</strong> in a trial series of 6 is happening this <strong>Sunday September 26th</strong> at The Dan with special guests <strong>Andy and Marta</strong> who will amaze everybody once again with their beautiful songs and angelic harmonies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Listening to Andy and Marta is almost akin to a religious experience. Their music purifies your ears, that&#8217;s how good they are so come on down and check them out as well as participate in the Open Mic that surrounds their performance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here’s a reminder of what is happening this week on the Open Mic Network:</p>

<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p>Last week was a busy week for the Open Mic Network and now that we&#8217;re experiencing the first weeks of Spring (which means that Summer is just around the corner) it&#8217;s going to get even busier with everybody coming out of their winter hibernation.</p>
<p>Is it just me or have we had an amazingly cold and wet Winter?</p>
<p>Anyhow, on with the update&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong><br />
Last weeks <strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong> was a quiet affair, quieter than the week before. We still had an almost full book but people were arriving at The Dan later after doing something else like seeing a band.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s great to see that the Open Mic @ The Dan is being used as a meeting place as well as a Open Mic.</p>
<p>No new faces this week but we did have <strong>Steve Sheehy</strong> and <strong>Mike Trake</strong> returning to the Open Mic stage after a long(ish) absence.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-616" title="grizzlesod" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG00191.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Steve Sheehy (aka Grizzlesod)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-617" title="miket" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG0031.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Mike Trake</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-618" title="trendytramp" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG0032.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Trendy Tramp (Nice Bass, Nice Pose)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Sunday Sessions @ The Dan</strong><br />
Joe Man Murphy cranked it up last Sunday to a very appreciative crowd of Joe Man fans and punters alike. it was really great to see Joe doing his stuff in a 45 minute slot as it really gave him a chance to build a quality show around his songs.</p>
<p>It was just Joe, a guitar and a stompbox. Pure class!</p>
<p>The Open Mic around Joe&#8217;s performance was also pure class with performers such as Anthony D&#8217;antonio, Lindsay Boyd and of course The Violent Rage Of Steve McQueen keeping the crowd entertained.</p>
<p>It was a great afternoon of music.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-619" title="joemanmurphy" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG0012.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>JoE mAn MuRpHy</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-620" title="tvrosm" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG0013.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Violent Rage Of Steve McQueen</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Crowd</strong></p>
<p><em>In other Open Mic Network news&#8230;</em></p>
<p><strong>SongDare</strong><br />
I wanted to let you all know that I&#8217;ve started a video series on <strong><a href="http://www.coreystewartonline.com/" target="_blank">my website</a></strong> called <strong>SongDare</strong>. Some of you might&#8217;ve heard me talk about this concept but it goes like this&#8230;</p>
<p><em>You request a song, and I mean any song, no matter how bizarre or beautiful it may be, and if I can play it just by using my voice and an acoustic guitar, I’ll make a video of it, put it up on YouTube and embed the video on my website.</em></p>
<p>I have experimented with this in the past through the <strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong> however, doing it this way will inspire me to keep on going with it plus, I can do the videos at my own pace, as time allows.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve put the first one up already. It&#8217;s <strong>&#8220;<a class="zem_slink" title="Waiting for a Girl Like You" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_a_Girl_Like_You">Waiting for A Girl Like You</a>&#8220;</strong> by Foreigner and it was requested ages ago by <strong>Noni Espinoza</strong> of Caramigo fame.</p>
<p>You can view on <strong><a href="http://www.coreystewartonline.com/2010/09/songdare-1-waiting-for-a-girl-like-you-foreigner/" target="_blank">my website</a></strong> or view it on <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uuMLDMfqKo" target="_blank">YouTube</a></strong>. If you have a SongDare for me to attempt then contact me and I&#8217;ll see what I can do for you. Let me know what you think.</p>
<p>Here’s a reminder of what is happening this week on the Open Mic Network:</p>

<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p>Apologies for missing out on last weeks update but I was just way too busy however, I&#8217;ll make it up to you all this week.</p>
<p><strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong><br />
It was an unusually quiet night at The Dan last week, so much so that we had spaces left on the running sheet for the first time in&#8230; a very long time. That of course didn&#8217;t detract from the fact that it was a wonderful night of entertainment and camaraderie for all involved.</p>
<p>There was one new act that really took the opportunity given to them to showcase their own music. They were a four piece outfit called <strong>Minority Tradition</strong> and they were absolutely fantastic.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-605" title="minoritytradition" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG0003.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Minority Tradition</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Open Mic @ The Third Cork</strong><br />
We had probably the biggest turnout of audience and performers at the latest <strong>Open Mic @ The Third Cork</strong> thanks to Heather Frahn and her &#8220;Big Song&#8221; songwriting workshop participants. Because of this we had <strong>9 new faces</strong> on the night.</p>
<p>I personally want to thank <strong>Heather Frahn</strong> and her workshop participants <strong>Elsa, Marlee, Liz, Brenda, Amy, Jeremy, Ben and Natalie</strong> for braving the cold and having a go on the Open Mic stage. You&#8217;re welcome anytime <img src='http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Big Song Project CD</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-607" title="heatherfrahn" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG0018.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Heather Frahn</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-608" title="benandnatalie" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG0021.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ben &amp; Natalie</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Sunday Sessions @ The Dan &#8211; #&#8217;s 4 and 5</strong><br />
The August 29th Sunday Sessions at The Dan was fantastic. We had a full book and <strong>Simon Peter</strong> was on fire with <strong>Sarah O&#8217;Brien</strong> on violin providing some wonderful counterpoint to Simon&#8217;s music.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-609" title="simonandsarah" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMAG0006.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Simon Peter &amp; Sarah O&#8217;Brien</span></strong></p>
<p>This coming Sunday Session (the 5th out of a series of 6) has <strong>Joe Murphy</strong> gracing the Open Mic stage as the special guest artist. Joe is currently experimenting with a new direction with his music involving an acoustic guitar, stompbox and a looping machine.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re going to love the music that he creates from this setup.</p>
<p>In other Open Mic Network news&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>WARNING: Gratuitous Self Promotion Alert</strong><br />
Just a couple of things that I wanted to tell you about:</p>
<p>1. I&#8217;ve decided to start teaching guitar again after a long absence so, if you want to either start learning guitar from scratch or, to broaden your knowledge on guitar with someone who has been playing for about 25 years then <strong>contact me</strong>.</p>
<p>For more information about what I can do for you and your guitar playing <strong><a href="http://www.coreystewartonline.com/services/" target="_blank">go to my website</a></strong>.</p>
<p>2. As well as starting up guitar lessons I&#8217;m also available to help you with your music business and songwriting needs. Consider me like a coach or mentor rather than a consultant (sounds way too formal) but either way, my experience and knowledge over my 25 years of involvement as a songwriter and musician can be used to your advantage.</p>
<p>If you want to know more please <strong>contact me</strong> or, for more information about what I can do for you and your music career, <strong><a href="http://www.coreystewartonline.com/services/" target="_blank">go to my website</a></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p>Only one more week until Winter is officially over and if you&#8217;re like me, it can&#8217;t come around quick enough. Right now my fingers feel like they&#8217;re frozen blocks of ice.</p>
<p>Thank goodness we have places like the <strong>Daniel O&#8217;Connell Hotel</strong> with their open fires and warm inviting atmosphere.</p>
<p>Sounds like a great place to hold a Open Mic <img src='http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Speaking about The Dan&#8230; Last weeks <strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong> proved again to be an event of high quality entertainment and great social interaction through the universal language of music.</p>
<p>We had a new face grace the Open Mic stage. His name is <strong>Paul Keenan</strong> who is originally from Ireland but he now calls Adelaide home. He got up and did three Pearl Jam covers that blew the audience away. If you closed your eyes you would&#8217;ve sworn that Eddie Vedder was on stage.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-602" title="paulkeenan" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMAG0015.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Paul Keenan</span></strong></p>
<p>I know I mention new faces a lot in these updates but I also want to take the time to thank the loyal core of regulars who support the Open Mic community week in and week out through their performances and their friendship.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to single anybody out or make some sort of list because I don&#8217;t want to miss anyones name but please be aware that I really appreciate your support and I will let you know personally to this effect.</p>
<p>I also want to remind you all that the <strong>Sunday Sessions @ The Dan #4</strong> with <strong>Simon Peter</strong> as special guest is on this <strong>Sunday August 29th</strong>. I can&#8217;t wait to hear SP do his thing again, I love the way he performs and his songwriting is superb. You&#8217;re going to love this weeks Sunday Sesh.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-309" title="simonpeter" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/simonpeter.JPG" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p>Last weeks <strong>Open Mic @ The Dan</strong> was all a blur for me as I was held up due to a previously organised rehearsal that I needed to be at.</p>
<p>Notwithstanding that, I still managed to get to the Open Mic with 2 minutes to spare but felt rushed all night because of it, sos much so I forgot my camera and therefore no photos but, <strong><a href="http://www.seanwiegand.com" target="_blank">Sean Wiegand</a></strong> and his trusty pen and paper came to the rescue. He decided that sketching some artists would be the way to go and as you can see below, the results speak for themselves.</p>
<p>Click on the images to see them full size.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-589" href="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/2010/08/open-mic-network-update-august-16th-2010/dsc00832/"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-589" title="peterclayton-sketch" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC00832-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a> <a rel="attachment wp-att-590" href="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/2010/08/open-mic-network-update-august-16th-2010/dsc00833/"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-590" title="robpickering-sketch" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC00833-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-591" href="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/2010/08/open-mic-network-update-august-16th-2010/dsc00834/"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-591" title="sashagalliver-sketch" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC00834-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a> <a rel="attachment wp-att-592" href="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/2010/08/open-mic-network-update-august-16th-2010/dsc00837/"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-592" title="vickylee-sketch" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC00837-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>That aside, I still had a great night, the list was full to the brim and the performances were fantastic.</p>
<p>There were a couple of new faces who graced the Open Mic stage last week. First of all was Ray Melton&#8217;s friend Gordon who formed a duo with Ray for the night and both of them performed very well considering that the Open Mic @ The Dan was their first performance together in over a year. Well done!</p>
<p>The second new face is a fellow by the name of Ben Todd who was celebrating his birthday last week and decided to get up on stage. What followed was an amazing performance that stunned everyone there, including some of his friends who had no idea that Ben could perform the way he did.</p>
<p>Personally, I thought Ben was superb and it shows to me again the power of the Open Mic Network in getting people out of their bedrooms and onto the stage&#8230;</p>
<p>Where they belong!</p>
<p>In other Open Mic Network news&#8230;</p>
<p>I just wanted to let you all know that Sunday Sessions @ The Dan #4 with special guest Simon Peter will NOT be happening on Sunday August 22nd but the week after on Sunday August 29th. If the upcoming Sunday Sesh was like the last one then it promises to be HUGE!</p>
<p>Here’s a reminder of what is happening this week on the Open Mic Network:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Open Mic @ The Dan</span><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p>Last week was a very busy week as it was one of those rare times that the Open Mics at The Dan and The Third Cork plus, the Sunday Sessions all happened at once.</p>
<p>Phew!</p>
<p>Nevertheless, all of the events provided some amazing opportunities to meet new people and to hear some amazing music.</p>
<p>Between the Open Mics at The Dan and The Third Cork we had <strong>12 new performers spread over 10 acts</strong> which qualifies as a new record in my books. It just goes to show that the word is getting out that music is alive and well in this town</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Chris Eves</strong></li>
<li><strong>Dan Isaac</strong></li>
<li><strong>Dan Spackman</strong></li>
<li><strong>Clancy Retallick</strong></li>
<li><strong>David Rogers</strong></li>
<li><strong>Damon Evans</strong></li>
<li><strong>Adrian</strong></li>
<li><strong>2UP </strong>(a new duo if you haven&#8217;t guessed)</li>
<li><strong>Tristan Newsome</strong></li>
<li><strong>Hana and Elly</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>I want to mention a special shout-out to everyone at the Open Mic that happens every Thursday night at the Royal Family Hotel down at Port Elliot which is where <strong>Clancy Retallick</strong> and <strong>David Rogers</strong> came from. I&#8217;m going to make sure I get down there and check it out very, very soon. Sounds like a hoot.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-560" title="clancyretallick" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMAG0017.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Clancy Retallick</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-561" title="davidrogers" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMAG0018.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>David Rogers</strong></p>
<p>The <strong>Sunday Sessions @ The Dan</strong> was another success with special guest <strong>Kelly Menhennett</strong> providing an amazing performance for the very appreciative crowd. For me, the other big highlight of the night was the return of <strong>&#8220;The Violent Rage Of Steve McQueen&#8221;</strong> who literally took over The Dan and made themselves at home.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-562" title="kellymenhennett" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMAG0005.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Kelly Menhennett</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-563" title="TVROSM" src="http://www.openmicaustralia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMAG0009.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Violent Rage Of Steve McQueen</strong></p>
<p>Nice work boys&#8230;</p>
<p>Here’s a reminder of what is happening this week on the Open Mic Network:</p>
