Introducing The Song Exchange: An Open Mic for Songwriters It’s almost time for the December Song Exchange! We had a great turnout last month with a diverse bunch of talented artists, and can’t wait to see who shows up this month. How is this going to be different than the Open Mic we host at Phoenix Brewing Co? 1- Focus on Original Music. We are asking the performers to play at least one of their own songs. 2-Listening Environment. The Mothership is a Music Venue first, the expectation from the audience is that we are quiet and respectful while the artists are performing. We really want to foster a place where our attention is shared and everyone feels supported. As such there are a couple important changes. – There will be a $5 door charge for everyone. On the upside, the drinks there are considerably less expensive… -There will be an actual sign up sheet for the artists, and they will all get a full 15 minutes on stage, with planned breaks between performances for sound check and to allow the audience to chat. We are still doing our regular Open Mic on the first Wednesday at the Phoenix, and will continue to run it as we have been. I’m excited to see and hear the original artists in our community, and really appreciate Nate and the crew at the Mothership for giving this a shot. – Tim
