Open Mic Happenings

Posted by bwolfsohn - March 2, 2011 - Out And About

From Dr. Bob This past week saw many changes in the folk and acoustic music scene. Glenn Allen’s open mic at Ye Old Falcon Pub, one of my personal favorites, has ended. Open mics are very personal ventures as those of us who have started one know. I personally started two last year, both of […]

Saturday evening was the reason all of you who host venues, home concerts, song swaps, etc., do what you do. And I thank you for it. Danny Schmidt and Carrie Elkin were the reason we’re blessed with evenings like we were able to experience last night. Thanks to them, Susan M, all the volunteers at the Labyrinth Cafe, and […]

Tropical house concerts are special. On the back patio, undercover, but surrounded by the palm foliage of the Springs, a fortunate group of listeners were treated to the talents of a ‘local’ troubadour.

Nick Annis & Michael Smith at Labyrinth Cafe

You’re right, Nancy, it was beautiful evening. A grand end to the season. Nick Annis. What a wordsmith! We’d laugh & look inside & hear words of love, mingling them all together. He joked he was ‘opening for Michael Smith twice in one day.” Maybe. But he was also closing the deal on how good […]

Amy Carol Webb, Wishing Chair at Labyrinth Cafe

Posted by bwolfsohn - March 7, 2010 - Labyrinth Cafe

OK. Next time, we’ll pack a couple folding chairs in the trunk, just in case. Full house. After missing last month’s raved-about John Gorka show, here was another opportunity for watching the Labyrinth Cafe sell out of brownies – early. It was a crowded room, filled with expectation and anticipation and, ultimately, afterglow. A great […]
