It seems that many club owners and other folks looking for performers come to downtown Roanoke to find them - specifically, the regular Thursday Open Mic at the Green Dolphin Grille - voted Roanoke's best open mic by the readers of City Magazine. I'm Bill Payne, and I co-host this weekly event with the Swiss Army Musician, Al Coffey. If you live nearby, or if you're passing through on a Thursday, you owe it to yourself to come and participate. We'll make a spot for you. The Dolphin is at 127 Campbell Ave,. near the city market. Open MIc is 9-1. We have solo slots and Nashville-style rounds, and singer/songwriters get listened to here. Several JPFers are regulars. Come join us!
