SEBRING, April 30, 2008 – Bring your poem. Bring your guitar and your song. Bring your courage. Oh, heck, bring your fun.
It’s Open Mike Night again Thursday night, May 1, at Brewster’s Coffee House in Sebring.
Youth for Christ sponsors the event, which is held once a month. Lindsey Murphy works for YFC, and she says the poems or songs people read or sing can be about anything, “as long as it’s clean.”
Amen!
Murphy will run the show a little bit differently this time. If you want to participate, you should pre-register at 6:30 at Brewster’s. The show will go on from 7 until 9. Murphy will give you a number, and when it is called, it’s showtime.
Brewster’s Coffee House is at 1905 U.S. Hwy. 27 North, which is the northwest corner of U.S. 27 and Thunderbird Road. It’s right across Thunderbird from Flex Bon Paints.
This Open Mike Night will also feature Mike the DJ and a Poetry Slam. Readers can read to the beat of music behind them, if they want. An acoustic house band will also perform.
Though Open Mike Night seems tailored a bit more to young adults and youth, Murphy stresses that it is not just for kids and that everyone is welcome, whether it is to perform or just to listen and enjoy.
Scads of folks came to the Open Mike Night in April. They enjoyed Brewster’s ambience, the excitement, and the dirnks the coffe house offers, which run the gamut from frozen coffees that are like milk shakes to smoothies, hot coffee, and iced or hot herbal teas.
