Rock-n-Roll Play Date – a different kind of open mic

A couple of months ago, South Park Tavern began hosting an open mic night on Wednesday nights, but instead of sticking with a traditional acoustic-style evening, they decided to do something a little different.  Thus the Rock-n-Roll Play Date was born.  The event is open to a wide variety of performers including comedians, rappers, acoustic and electric acts and the idea is to foster collaboration.  Interested performers can sign up for a 25 minute time slot in advance on South Park Tavern’s website and even put in a request for other musicians they’d like to play with (say a drummer or bass player).  It’s a good environment to try out new material or for solo musicians to meet other people to play with.  The first act gets started around, and the last act goes on between 12 and 12:30am
