July 28th, 2022. Open Mic … Thursday?!

Dave Godbey’s first open mic performance in years. It’s the first time we’ve seen him since Teavolve. Performing with Dave Benham.

After having to cancel this past Sunday for the heat, and knowing that over-hundred-degree temperatures are just too frequent a thing between 5-7pm on any day, I asked Jeni if there was any night Little Market Cafe could give me a later time slot…. and so Thursday was offered, and Thursday was taken – and tonight we had our first Thursday night open mic!

I had many a usual suspect, which I was grateful for, because outside of them it was a DEAD night. It’d been a dead day. Brutally hot, with every weather service swearing we were about to be hammered by thunderstorms, it scared off most everyone, but we braved the threat and had a beautiful, relaxed, and even sort of COOL evening.

And so…

For all that I normally think of him as really young, there are moments when I realize that he’s doing great things (food kitchens, feed the homeless initiatives) on TOP of being a great open mic host – and the greys in his hair make him look like the next great local music patrician…

+/- weather, we plan to have the Ellicott City Main Street Open Air Open Mic every THURSDAY from 7-9 in Parking Lot D, in the Little Market Cafe’s courtyard – as long as the weather allows! Signup at 4.30pm. Family-friendly environment, 2 songs / 10 minutes, whichever’s shorter…
