Mudpuppies and Mojo Sound Production presents Open Mic 🎙️
We will be hosting open mic tonight at Mudpuppies with hostess CaroMia Humphrey . Come play us some tunes, let’s all hug one another and just hang for a bit. Our community needs some sense of normalcy during all of this suffering. Come make someone smile with your music! Hope to see you all tonight! 6-9pm!
Sometime about a year or so ago we saw a flyer on their wall advertising something called “Jam Grass Jam”. A weekly event hosted by the @saylorbrothers (of @brushfirestankgrass fame) and bassist extraordinaire @stig_stiglets . We showed up, it was a ton of fun, so we went the next week.
And the next week.
And the week after that.
Wednesdays quickly turned into one of the most exciting nights of the week for not only myself, but many local bluegrass lovers in our town.
More than just a night out listening to great tunes, the Jam>Grass>Jam also became a gathering place for community. After countless Wednesdays seeing the same familiar faces every week we became much more than just an audience, we became a family.
It is with that family in mind that the Stoplight is proud to announce the return of Jam>Grass>Jam. We know that our porch will pale in comparison, but in honor of our normal gathering place, we feel compelled to find a way to bring the family back together again for a night of fun & healing.
Please RSVP with @ratdogfreak via text message at 630-258-0635.
So….if you are a part of the Jam Grass Jam Fam we hope you’ll join us this Wednesday for a cobbled together version of one of Asheville’s best re-occurring musical events. As always there will be no ticket fee, but we encourage you to bring any cash you can spare to tip the band.
