We hit up the bars for live music on the weekends but what about checking out some live music during the week? You can pick up any entertainment magazine or hop on the Internet and find open mics in the twin ports.

Open mics are a blast you can hear anything from a harmonica to electric guitar, music styles very. You can hear poetry, comedians we even had a guy with a violin playing Led Zeppelin music. It’s also great opportunity for new musicians to hone their skills in front of people.

I’ve been running open mic for over three years now and the new friends that I have gotten to know has made this a pleasure in all aspects. So if you get the itch to do something different during the week head to your local pub that has open mic and who knows you could be witnessing the next big star.
