| Toast & Jam Open Mic |
| Mon. Feb 18 to Mon. Mar 25 |
| Mondays (2/18 - 3/25, 2013) |
Get ready to lose those winter blues! Toast & Jam, now in its 14th year. This jazz-jammin', blues-rockin', poetry-reading coffeehouse event is back by popular demand and continues till March 25.
Singer-songwriter, Dale Campbell hosts the 6 week series of open mic entertainment which is open to all singers, musicians, poets, actors, dancers, comics and performance artists. Campbell's calling card boasts a long history of open mics and he can be heard regularly on WJJL 1440AM, "Just Me and the Dog" and "Dale Campbell - All About Town".
Performers sign up as they arrive, and play on a first-come, first-served basis. Most of the people who perform at open mics are not professionals. They do it for the love of it, and part of the fun for the audience is never knowing what to expect! "It's a great atmosphere." says Campbell. "By the end of the night, it feels like a sing-along at a friend's house. Some performers are really good, others are just there to have fun. And everyone LOVES the great food at the Brickyard!".
Highlights from Toast & Jam are featured throughout the year on Lockport Community TV. Performers are invited to take advantage of this unique opportunity to enjoy a moment in the spotlight.
Toast & Jam is presented by Lewiston Council on the Arts and sponsored by Brickyard Pub & BBQ, Lockport Community TV (LCTV), Cataract Printing, Lewiston Music and Vic's Woodshed Music. h/c access |
