Monday night is (blues) open mic at the Cellar

The drummer (Keith) and bass player (Bill) have been doing this for decades. Doc on guitar just about as long. Anybody in town who wants to come up and play is welcome. If the Cellar pays them anything it isn't much.

It can't be Nashville every night but there've been some amazing performances. You never know who might show up.

We are very lucky to have those guys around.
