Oakland: Women's Open Mic at Montclair Women's Cultural ArtsJoin us Thursday, March 18 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 up 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 Queen of Boogie Woogie, WENDY DeWITT. Her high energy Chicago-based blues piano and boogie woogie have entertained audiences throughout the US, Europe, and the Virgin Islands. Her vocals are sweet with a strong reliance on jazz phrasing, tunes well steeped in the stylings of Otis Spann, Memphis slim, Sunnyland Slim, and Albert Ammons. Locally, she's been featured at the Freight and Salvage and has 6 albums to her credit. Wendy can be heard regularly on the nationally syndicated West Coast Live and now you can see her live at Third Thursday! 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 to 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. ARTISTS: If you are an artist, contact Janet at janetrac@berkeley.edu for information about showing and selling your art at Third Thursday. Thank you for keeping this event scent-free. Event is wheelchair accessible. Let me know at <janetrac@berkeley.edu> if you need disabled access parking *one day in advance.*
