Open mic night at The Blue Moon Cafe occurs every Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. This is this week's cultural event for me! People from all over Shepherdstown come out to see live music, play music, and connect with people.
When the clock hits nine, a dry-erase board is put out so musicians can sign up to perform. Tables and chairs are removed from a corner of the restaurant and replaced with mics, amps, and instruments.
The Blue Moon usually welcomes the same faces to the stage every Wednesday. This particular night was special because it offered some new faces.
Like the attendees, the music you'll hear at Open Mic is very diverse. Last night, I had the pleasure of listening to music with southern rock, alternative rock, indie, and even some blues/circus/New Orleans influenced music. There were many song covers as well as originals.
Perhaps the best part about Wednesday nights at The Blue Moon Cafe is meeting new people. Last night alone, my friends and I enjoyed the company of four new acquaintances.
At the end of the night, you've experienced live music and friendly faces. That's obviously enough to keep those who attend returning the next week for more good times.
