Acoustic (Taylor) Open Mic - Nashua, NH, Sept 2
« on: August 03, 2015, 09:03:43 PM »
Hey all!  I haven't been here in ages, just too much going on in 'real life'.  My 310ce is now over 2 years old, and still going strong.  Had to sand a couple of burrs off the saddle (busted a bunch of strings), but other than that, and a couple of battery changes, its going strong.

I wanted to mention that I'm running a new open mic in Nashua, NH, now running on 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month, 7-10pm (details below).  Last one we had 4 Taylor guitars including mine, another 310ce, and and an 812ce (of course all sounded great!)  - seems to be the "go to" guitar these days - even more than Martins.  If anyone here comes to the open mic, let me know you saw this post.

Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1622340754715746/

Formerly 'Wicked Twisted', Dolly Shakers is located in downtown Nashua at 38 East Hollis Street (Rte 111).
6:45 sign ups, go in order of sign up - 3 song minimum (no waiting until midnight to play!) Bring the instrument of your choice, and plug into the great-sounding PA system, all mics, cables, music stand provided. Borrow an acoustic guitar if you need to! Want someone to accompany you? Just let me know!
No stand-up comedy, but comedy songs welcome!
DIRECTIONS
From RTE 3 take Exit 5E, follow RTE 111 East (Kinsley Street) 1-3/4 miles. When you cross over Main Street the road loops to the left (Southern NH Medical Center next to you), and take a right at the lights to continue on RTE 111 East, which is East Hollis Street. Dolly Shakers is 1-1/2 blocks on the left.
From the East/Southeast take RTE 111 West (from Dracut, Lowell, Tyngsboro take RTE 3A to RTE 111), cross the river, then bear left on RTE 111 West, Dolly Shaker's is on the right about a mile from the bridge.
PARKING
Do not park in the Headlines Boutique lot across the street -- they tow! There are a few spots right in front of the building, you can also park in the Dollar Saver lot (same building, east side), there's parking in the SNH Medical Center lot across from Quincy Street and parking on Quincy Street, the cross street half a block to the west, next to the postal facility.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for posting this. I was looking for open Mikes in Nh last year but am just too busy this summer. Maybe in the fall. I have never done one and would like to, but singing isn't my strong suit!
Also, it says 3 song minimum, did you mean max?
We needed a good open Mike in NH. Thank you for doing this.

No, 3 song MINIMUM!   At most nights, players are getting 4-6 songs.  May have to cut it down in the fall when things get busier, but you'll always get at least 3 songs!  You can play instrumentals, or find someone to play/sing with you (I'm always willing).
This will be running the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of the month (hopefully for a long time!)  Keep an eye on my artist page on FB for the listings:  https://www.facebook.com/mikebirchmusic
