In downtown Clinton, CT, at 24 E Main St, is where the old Driftwood Café had been and is now Scottish Dave’s Pub. They’re putting together a local folk scene and I have been asked to take turns with Marc Bernier on the stage – This’ll happen every other Thursday night from 8 to 11, starting this Thursday the 31st of July – come check out their Facebook page! And of course, every Monday at the Griswold Inn!
Come on down!
Hi Dave,
Mike James here in Port Townsend, Washington. I’ll be in your area early in October. Are there any open mic shantey sings on Wednesday, Oct. 8, 9, or 10? I run a shantey sing in Port Townsend once a month. See http://www.singshanties.com. Thanks.
Hello Mike,
This isn’t Scottish Dave’s Website so I doubt that he’ll see your post. This is the site for Cliff Haslam. If you were to be in the area on a Monday I would invite you to come down to our regular Monday night gig – not an open mic but we would be quite pleased to have you present a few and then drink a few on us. You can see the band sight at http://TheJovialCrew.com
I am not aware of any open mic places that cater to music such as ours, not in this area; most are for classic rock or singer/songwriter performers in the style of, say, Cat Stevens or James Taylor – and their current generational equivalents. I’ll pass the word and see what’s going on in the area and let you know. Hope to meet you while your in the area!
Joseph
