All acoustic musicians are
welcome. Our guest musicians at the open mic either "sit in," or
perform on their own. We've had people perform bluegrass, folk, old time,
original songs, blues, country, polka, and acoustic rock. Folks have played the
guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, bass, Dobro, harmonica, accordion, flute,
trumpet, and even the dijeridoo ! A sound system with several microphones is
provided. There's always a good audience on Wednesday nights and they love to
hear new guest musicians.

all the customers, musicians, and the staff of the Northland Ballroom for
