Winsted's CAFE 64 has an open mic!

I'd tell you about it myself, but local music junkie Ed Hoyer wrote in with the following scoop:

Jeff, the owner of Cafe 64, gave the green light to advertising the heck out of the open mike. Here's the details.

Cafe 64, 64 Main Street, Winsted CT
860-738-9952
Wednesdays 7:30pm - 10:30pm

Reuben James is the host. Sign up sheet at the open mike. All ages. No cover.

This is a small restaurant. One corner of the front room is used as theperformance space. It fits solo performers or duos. Tight fit for trios.Acoustic music preferred, electric okay if you watch your volume.

Small four channel PA, with two 10 inch speakers, instrument cables andtwo microphones with stands provided.

Crowd noise varies. Sometimes, it's quiet, sometimes, people are talking in competition with you. This is a small space, and you are very close to the audience.

Last Wednesday, both rooms were filled. People were sitting on the floor.

Regular performers:
Reuben James
Crystal
Jesse Meade
Andrew Jamieson
Paper Street
The Space People
Jesse H. and Nioxin
Joe Hoover
