End of the Year

Hello there,

More of my thank you list for 2008!

Eric Tice. This young man played twice solo at our Open Mic night, appeared once with Dan Gunyan and then twice again with his band Boherald. What a trooper!

Boherald, see above, our thanks to one of the most popular youth bands around.

Raw Deal. Formerly Lucky Seven, performed at Open Mic then came back and played brilliantly at the Insights Halloween party, then headlined the Ecumenical show in Pinckney back in November.

Mr. Hyde. Have known two thirds of this band for over 15 years, extremely talented and a pleasure to be around. As one of their members resurects Flannel Nation Records, I see them being a part of what we're doing here for the young musicians for some time.

Jon Curtis Photography. Jon has been instrumental for us here. In putting together a program for struggling, up and coming artists...a photographer is a must! Jon will come to Open Mic, quietly sit at his table in the front, casually taking pictures of the performers on stage. He'll share the proofs with us and the performers and allow them to purchase prints from his web site or schedule a photo session with him at a later date. Jon's efforts are key because he has developed a package for the performers that we can offer artists when they show up at Open Mic nights. The 8x10 glossy is still a must for any performer to have in their marketing portfolio and due to Jon's efforts, the services we offer here have been enhanced.
