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.
FREE ADMISSION
Can't make it to the drawing on time but still want to play the open mic? Send me a message on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/bgetzell) and I'll throw your name in the pitcher! - Brendan
