On a bit of a lark, I decided to jump in my car on Thursday night and head to Londonderry, New Hampshire, to check out the much-lauded Open Mic Night. You'll see details in a forthcoming article in The Lowell Sun, but I can tell you that it is a great opportunity for aspiring musicians to work out the kinks in front of a live audience. The performers ranged in age and ability from high school to folks in their 60s, from beginners to seasoned professionals. And they ranged in appearance from button-down dress shirts and khakis to a guy dressed like a pirate. It was a lot of fun and the folks at Tupelo run a good show. It's definitely worth the trip. They offer Open Mic night the first Thursday of every month but are considering going to twice a month given its popularity (there were more than 20 acts last Thursday and it ran until about 11:30).
