PUTNEY, Vt. – Next Stage Arts presents an open mic evening hosted by Vermont Timbre (Amelia Struthers and Mike Mrowicki) on Sunday, March 29, at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:15 p.m. The evening will include a special featured performance by guitarist and songwriter Peter Siegel, of The Gaslight Tinkers.
The open mic offers a welcoming and supportive stage for musicians, poets, storytellers, and performers of all kinds to share their work. Performers will have 10-15 minutes for their sets, depending on the number of participants who sign up.
