Here's your chance to give the Philly-area alt.country scene a well-intentioned kick in the ass. Every other Sunday night at 9pm(next one is April 25th) Upstairs At Nick's (2nd St between Market and Chestnut) has been hosting an alt-country open mic featuring a house band with members of Hogan's Goat, Naked Omaha and the Rolling Hayseeds, plus whoever else jumps up onstage to do some songs. There's tons of cool covers plus whatever originals folks decide to play. I just went to my first one this past Sunday and had a blast. The house band was fun and Naked Omaha played a few of our own too. We're gonna make it a regular thing to show up there and hope a bunch of you Philly-area people will too. Bring your band or just bring yourself. Get onstage or just hang out. There's no cover and the drinks are cheap. Steve Kirsch [EMAIL PROTECTED]
