First Tee February 10, 2011

What a fun night we had last Thursday with an excellent turnout of musicians and fans.  We are really building a good following of listeners with the fine talent that has been playing at The First Tee Open Mic.  We managed to get the attention of America's Got Talent!  They sent out a representative last week to promote their open auditions and to sign up people for scheduled auditions.  As things turned out Josh Wager got a scheduled audition and I've heard through the grapevine (OK it was on Facebook)  that our friend Donny Sands went down to the open auditions.  I have no doubt both of them represented us well.

Besides the presence of the lovely Esmerelda from America's Got Talent we had a great line up of music.

We started the evening as we often do with Jason Hykle,
backed up by Brandon Jentzen and Keith Craik.

Brandon then took his turn at the microphone, again getting
some back up assistance from Kieth Craik

Dennis Glendenning was up next making his first appearance on the First Tee Stage.

Willie B followed  and rocked the house as he is known to do.

Hunter Nelson was next up and has become a regular favorite here.

Steve and Kevin have also become welcome regulars.

C-4 Ebrahimi and Guitar Dave came up next with a fine mix of tunes.

Amy Waters then took the stage

and was followed by Andrea Thompson.
Apologies to Andrea.  It seems I always miss someone in the photos.
This week it was Andrea.

John P. Barton made a rare appearance at the First Tee. And
who is that interesting fellow looking on from the back?

and then Josh Wager took the stage garnering some attention from Esmeralda.

Bruce Ross followed Josh

and Doug Michaels wrapped up the evening 

with backup from Guitar Dave and Bruce Ross.

Many thanks to all of the musicians that keep coming out and keeping this open mic alive.

Also a HUGE thank you to over a dozen folks that made it a point to show up just to listen.

Join us every Thursday night at The First Tee for a great Acoustic Music Open Mic.
