Port Townsend Has a Great Open Mic

Rollin' Waters played in Port Townsend at the Upstage Open Mic last night for the first time. Great venue with a sunken stage, balcony, good food and lots of musicians, including Andy Mackie and Paul Kell. Both have played at the Junction in Port Angeles with us a few times. After doing a song/poem with Jess, who is a gifted poet and pianist, we sang "I Shall Be Released," "Deep River Blues," and "Stormy Monday." The crowd was enthusiastic, especially when Stephanie sang "Stormy Monday," and it was a fun night. Looking forward to doing it again soon. Port Townsend has lots of music clubs and events going on throughout the year.
