Default New Acoustic Open Mic - Nashua, NH Wed. June 17

You are invited to Nashua's newest Open Mic - at the new Dolly Shakers (formerly Wicked Twisted) at 38 East Hollis Street.

First open mic is now June 17 - mext one is July 1. This will be a regular event on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday's of the month if there is enough interest - so be sure and try and make it to one of these open mics! There's a stage with lights, and photos will be taken of all performers (unless you request otherwise). Want a song videoed ? Just let me know.

Sign-ups start at 6:45, and we'll go in order of sign-up. 3 song minimum - if there's time, we'll start a second round of songs for everyone. If you show up late, no problem, you'll just be going on later! We'll run as late as needed to make sure everyone who signs up gets the chance to play.

This is an acoustic open mic - not a jam. Electric instruments are OK, and you can bring a small amp if you need it, otherwise plug right into the PA. Need to borrow a guitar - just ask! Need someone to play along with you? Send me a message so I can learn the songs if I need to.

If you’re not interested in playing at an open mic, this is still an excellent opportunity to network with other musicians – maybe you’ll find that person you need to complete your band.

On alternate Wednesdays (2nd and 4th of the month) there will be an open jam with full backline and drum kit, if that's what you're looking for.

DIRECTIONS
From RTE 3 take Exit 5E, follow RTE 111 East (Kinsley Street) 1-3/4 miles. When you cross over Main Street the road loops to the left (Southern NH Medical Center next to you), and take a right at the lights to continue on RTE 111 East, which is East Hollis Street. Dolly Shakers is 1-1/2 blocks on the left.

From the East/Southeast take RTE 111 West (from Dracut, Lowell, Tyngsboro take RTE 3A to RTE 111), cross the river, then bear left on RTE 111 West, Dolly Shakers is on the right about a mile from the bridge.

PARKING
Do not park in the Headlines Boutique lot across the street – they tow! There are a few spots right in front of the building, a few spots next to the stone wall behind the building, and the easiest parking is on Quincy Street, the cross street half a block to the west, next to the postal facility.

Bumping this up! The new open mic is finally a GO. And if that 'guy in the sunglasses' shows up, I'll have to do my 'Stairway to the Smoking Freebird' medley for him!

For a first event at a just-reopened bar, went well last night. Next one is scheduled for July 1. Would love to have some AGF folks attend!
