Headwaters Music and Arts will be feeling the love and celebrating community on February 3 with their Open Mic and CoffeeHouse starting at 7pm. The monthly community gathering offers a friendly open mic opportunity and welcoming environment for folks to listen and perform at Headwaters Music and Arts (519 MN Ave NW, Bemidji). The featured group for February will be mudsong. Sign-up for the Open Mic begins at 6:30 or by email to jjhgaard@gmail.com.
Bemidji based band mudsong is composed of bandmates Craig Haugen, Pete McDonnell, Mary Overlie, and Dan Schnackenberg. For the past decade, mudsong has been crafting original, tale-length concerts that sound the heartache and hallelujah of breaking human hearts. If your head dips & nods like a descendant of Bill Withers, if your heart takes lyrical gut-punches from Dawes, or your hips wiggle to Stax’s Memphis Soul, you’ll enjoy the rollicking, sometimes reeling, ride that is an evening with mudsong. The musicians meet at the intersection of rock, funk, jazz and soul and call the Northwoods home. They will perform their mix of original tunes at the February Open Mic and CoffeeHouse.
Held on the first Friday of most months, the Headwaters Open Mic and CoffeeHouse offers a welcoming and supportive community for musicians and spoken-word performers. All ages and skill levels are encouraged to sign up for a 10 to 15 minute set.
Admission is $3 per person or $7 for families. Coffee and treats are available for purchase courtesy of Apple Blossom Village in partnership with Starbucks.
Headwaters Open Mic and CoffeeHouse is a volunteer-led community event. You can contact John Henningsgaard at 218.444.9845 for more information.
