Open Mic this week!
Come on down to Dancing Bear Inn in Nelson BC at 7pm for an evening of acoustic driven sounds.
Have a new song you have yet to play in public? Have you never played in public but have wanted to try in a small, safe environment?

I'll be there telling the same ol jokes and singing some folk tunes you've probably never heard. It's a HOOT!
