Orleans Street Party/Open Mic Aug 18!

by Bert on August 2, 2010

It’s going to be all party, all night! Weather permitting, we’ll be playing outside for this month’s Feed Your Love open mic. The evening will start at 5 PM with three feature sets from The Direct, Jennifer Stratton and Don Boivin, and Robertchez. Then, around 7:30 PM we’ll launch into open mic with some of the best performers in the region.

The Direct

“The sound is totally clean, good vocal melodies without all the special effects, just music. It’s really good. I like it. Not a lot of bands like that out there anymore. Most of them have to scream and have a bunch of distortion and digital special effects. That’s because they can’t write melodies. The Direct can write melodies. So they don’t need all the fluff. And I like it.” – Will Hewitt, Polirock.com

Jennifer Stratton & Don Boivin

Both Jennifer and Don have recently released CDs of their infectious original folk and rock music. The songwriting is original, compelling and downright fun. Always a favorite at Feed Your Love (full disclosure, Don is co-host of Feed Your Love!).

Robertchez

Robertchez is Cheryl Kain on vocals, Bert Jackson on guitar and Roe Osborn on bass. From ballads to bossa to hard swing, Robertchez rips through the American songbook plus presents some interesting originals. (more full disclosure, Bert is co-host of Feed Your Love, too!)

Musicians for the open mic can sign up anytime after 5 PM, we’ll draw order right before open mic starts and then get rockin’.

See you at Cape Cup on Aug 18!
