The Calvert Library Prince Frederick will host you and your song on Thursday, March 18 at 7 pm. Whether you need to sing the blues, have a song in your heart or just want to share the beat, sign up for a slot of up to 10 minutes.
Join emcee and blues rodent Rocky Jones as he jumps another boxcar to evade the Law, the hound of doom, and the lonely waitress’s angry boyfriend. The format for this year has changed somewhat for good reason. Last year the Calvert Library offered a Blues Open Mic and opened it up to bluesy music, prose and poetry.
According to Robyn Truslow, Public Relations Coordinator for the Calvert Library, “We drew such a crowd of musicians that asked for more musical opportunities that we are focusing just on music this year. And our Heart and Spleen Open Mic got snowed out so there is plenty to sing the blues about!”
Last year there was a wide variety of music with its roots in the blues; gospel, folk, old-timey blues and more.
“Even a tear or two was shed,” said Truslow. “This year, all musical genres are welcome.” Truslow emphasized that acts need to register to make sure that they book their turn at the mic for up to 10 minutes.
For more information and to register, call the Calvert Library Prince Frederick at (410) 535-0291 or (301) 855-1862.
