THE HOTEL UTAH WEEKLY OPEN MIC
with host Brendan Getzell
http://theutah.org
The Hotel Utah open mic is the epicenter of San Francisco's singer-songwriter community. Its stage attracts performers at all stages of their careers: from seasoned veterans to first-timers. It attracts music fans who know a good thing when they see it.
The musicians who come regularly don't come just to get a little "stage time" - they come because of the community that calls Monday at The Utah home - and the musicians that come in for the first time eventually start to come regularly...
So come on down this monday, have a beer, bring your guitar if that's your thing, and sit back and enjoy.

Of course, I am thankful to, and honored to follow in the footsteps of, one of the giants of the SF music scene, the immortal JJ Schultz, host at The Utah for the last 5 years. I can only hope to be the Young to his Montana. (Hmm, he might appreciate a more Wisconsin-centric reference) I mean, the Rodgers to his Favre.
(please don't text me any pics!)
(Also, aaaaaaaaaaaah, you da man)
