I am so excited about how the Open Mic at the Georgetown pub is growing. Every week it gets bigger and better. With an excellent mix of regulars and brand new performers, every week is different. The best part is that the crowd is extremely friendly and supportive so you will always meet a ton of new friends.Here I am loving what I do;The list is growing every week so make sure that you get

You may be wondering what is new at the Georgetown Open Mic with Tim Melanson.Well... The students are back and the musicians keep coming. We have so many new people coming out every week and it doesn't seem like it will slow down.Here's a little view from the stage while regulars Jessika and Gary rock the crowd with some Bon Jovi.The other new development is DRUMS! Georgetown's very own, Silas

I haven't posted in a little while, and I thought it was about time. At the start of the summer I had foolishly considered suspending the open mic... I'm so glad that I decided to keep it going. It has been going quite well through the summer and every few weeks, we get a huge crowd.It's funny how time flies, I've been hosting this open mic for close to 9 months now, and I'm still amazed at the

It's been a while since I've posted another note on here, so I thought I'd add a quick update.Open Mic at the Georgetown is still going strong! We are attracting so many awesome musicians and every week we get to hear from a new singer or two. I'm so excited that everyone is reacting so well to the Open Mic Karaoke concept.Here we have one of the regulars, Zoe rocking out with me to LaBamba!

This update is a little overdue since there are a few things that have been piling up that I need to tell you about.First of all... Thanks to all of you who have been coming out for open mic every Wednesday. It is soooo much fun and I am amazed at the talent that is coming out. Not only does everyone play very well, but the song selection is awesome! I love the old classics!A few new gigs to

This is so much fun!I am in my second month running the open stage at the Georgetown Pub on Wednesday nights and I am having a blast. The last month has been incredible. The bar is busy every week and the list is full. There are plenty of artists showing off original songs as well as their favorite covers. Here is a little taste of last week's Open Mic. People are always welcome to come up

What an awesome night last night at the Georgetown Open Mic! I just had to post.The bar was jam packed almost all night and our newest regulars (Spencer and Emma) had the crowd's attention all night!As usual, I brought my trusty red binder with a ton of songs, and Emma joined me on stage for a few songs. It's an open mic with a Karaoke spin. :)

Ottawa open mic (or open stage) at what used to be Rasputin's, was my first exposure to the Ottawa music scene. I remember going up on stage for the first time... It was exhilarating and exciting. The two musicians that were with me were first timers as well. They were both crapping themselves out of nervousness, but I remember being fairly calm. I've always loved the spotlight so I just

I'm very excited to be playing next weekend at Bassline station.On top of the open mic every week, I will be performing regular shows... Probably a couple per month. The next show is going to be a great one. I spent countless hours at Bassline station performing at their open mic and I love their stage and the atmosphere.Come on out and catch the show. You can let me know you are coming at my

After a bit of a break, I'm back into music.I've got a few things lined up.First and foremost. I have landed another Open Mic Hosting gig. Every Wednesday night I will be at the Georgetown pub. I've taken the summer off from hosting (I used to host the one at the Royal Oak... The dirty Oak) and now I'm all refreshed and ready to go.The open mic has already been going for quite some time, and

I just thought I'd post an update about my upcoming show at Hooley's Pub in Ottawa, ON this weekend (May 15th/16th).My band for this weekend is incredible!On drums, we've got Tony Raybould. This Ottawa veteran has been performing for years and he is easily one of the most versatile drummers on the scene. This guy can jump into any lineup and shine!I've know the bassist, Simon Gray for years. I

Alright... I know that sounds bizarre, but it's absolutely true.Think about it. The words are right in front of you. You already know the tune to the song. You are right up there on stage. Everyone is looking at you and it's OK if they laugh!Just some food for thought!
