Reminder: Oakland: Third Thursday women's open mic talent showcase ... @ Thu Jan 21 7:30pm - 9:30pm (Queer Things)

Oakland: Third Thursday women's open mic talent showcase at Montclair Women's Cultural Arts

Celebrate 2010 with us Thursday, Jan. 21 at Third Thursday women's open mic talent showcase at Montclair Women's Cultural Arts, 1650 Mountain Blvd. in Oakland, corner of Mountain and Thornhill off Hwy. 13, 7:30 pm. 510-654-4088 for info. $ 7 - 10 sliding scale at the door.

Open mic spots fill us fast. See info. below about how to sign up.

This is an all-women event and all women are welcome: an upbeat community gathering to connect with old friends, meet new ones, and enjoy fantastic entertainment.

Our feature this month is CARRIE GERENDSAY who is an outstanding, high energy folk singer with a superb voice, and a lightning-fast flat picking hand. Powerful and passionate, her songs inspire and her charismatic presence electrifies the room. She puts intense emotional interpretation into her songs which span folk, blues and country music; she is a kick-ass guitar picker with a strong voice for the blues and western music, and a sweet sound for ballads. Her vocal power is only equaled by the rate at which her fingers fly over her guitar strings. Her witty and edgy banter between songs adds punch to her solid performance. Carrie is also lead singer and bass player with the Average Dyke Band.

AND...the heart and soul of Third Thursday: YOU, either as performer or audience member. Drop in for some laughs, songs, poems, prose, instruments, spoken word, and any other talents you have. Each performer has 5 minutes to do their thing. It is an evening rich with entertainment.

For PERFORMANCE SIGN-UP email <janetrac@berkeley.edu>, and arrive before 7:30 to check in. Show is from 7:30 to 10:00 with an intermission. Spaces are limited so we can end at 10:00, allowing our volunteer crew get get home at a decent hour and keeping the neighbors happy. A cappella, acoustic, or plugged in are all welcome. We have a sound system.
