| Open mic night at the Blind Tiger |
If you are just an ordinary top 40 kind of a music lover then Open Mic nights at local clubs and bars are probably not going to get you excited. However, if you are a true music devotee then Open Mic nights are the real meat and potatoes of live music. It is where performers get to iron out the wrinkles in their act, or test out a new song on an audience, or experiment with new musical ideas or better yet, get to just jam with other musicians that they may not normally associate with. I've been to several open mic nights locally and I've seen and heard a wealth of musical styles and talent. The Blind Tiger in Greensboro probably has the most diverse open mic night, likely due to it's proximity to the area universities, and is able to reap the benefits of young artists as they grow, mature in their musical journeys. The key word with open mic nights is diversity. Where you are apt to experience a kaleidoscope of musical genres, other venues are more likely to have a narrower scope. Plum Krazy's open mic night, while diverse, is not so eclectic yet every bit as entertaining as the Tiger lineups. If you've never been to an open mic night, take some time and get out and experience it - a true music lover wouldn't miss it.
