Open Mic Nite at The Nook was a huge success. What a relief and what fun!! You, who missed it, missed awesome music and delicious cheesecake and a fun crowd.

We had amazing musicians show up and entertain us and we gorged ourselves on Pat Garrett’s Cheesecake… Good times.

Thank you to my friends and to the musicians who came. We had Macyn Taylor! She is only 14 years old but plays better than some old pro’s… It was TRULY an HONOR to have her there and to hear her play again….

Kerry Spitzer and Janice were amazing as well. Kerry has been so supportive of the Open Mic and I owe him MUCH thanks!

Then Pat Garrett made us all laugh and cry with his superb songwriting and performing skills, as well as filling our bellies with Cheesecake!

Evan Priday played next and was awesome as usual. He did “Rising Water” by my request and it was beautiful, I love that song Evan… Cole Garcia accompanied him a few songs… Yay Cole!

And last but not least Don Miller from Acoustic Soul played guitar and sang, which Ive never heard him sing before by himself.. YOU were GREAT Don! Jason Kent joined him for a few and together they provided some comic relief… It was cute…

This week the lighting will be WAY better next time and not clinical… See you there!!

“Call him contemporary folk, blues, roots rock, American Fingerstyle or Americana. Regardless of the genres crossed, Kraig Kenning manages to leave every audience feeling like they’ve just spent some quality time with an old friend. Few artists are as capable of connecting so directly with such diverse listeners while playing over 200 dates a year, receiving airplay on 40 stations nationwide, and selling 60,000+ recordings of six self-produced CDs. But Kenning has shaped himself into one of the most capable performers on the planet, touring non-stop for the past decade. “There is an exchange at a spiritual level in a great performance. My goal is to journey with all my listeners to this magical place.” Together with his trademark dobro and passionate lyrics, Kraig reminds us just how personal–and potent–original music can be . . .” Click HERE to read more

August 12, 2008 in my courtyard, Kenosha, WI.

I thought it would be really cool to have Michael LaMacchia interviewed for Expose Kenosha while he was in town performing. So Francisco asked ME to write it since Michael is my cousin. My first attempt so here it goes…………..

Maria — Thank you Michael and Lynn for taking time from your busy schedule while you are in Kenosha to meet with me.

Maria — SO great having you back home in Kenosha Michael. How does it feel playing in your home town?
