Folk’on Fridays Open-Mic Night - July 10, 7 p.m., free event.

Folk’on Fridays is a series of open mic folk singing nights at Cheney Hall developed in 2008.  This summer, for two nights thus far, we have held evenings of great singing, and competing, by local artists who would like to open for Tom Rush when he comes to Cheney Hall on August 1st.

The four top vote-getters (after the two nights of competition) are Eric Paradine, David Sutherland, Doug AmEnde and Nina and the Quarry Cats!  They were all terrific, and will now face each other on Friday, July 10th at 7 p.m. at Cheney Hall. 

You’re invited to come to this “Folk’off”, cast your vote and be there when the winner is declared!  The rest of the evening of July 10th will be devoted to open-mic singing by a number of great local groups and individuals.

Tickets to Tom Rush (August 1) are still available at the Cheney Hall box office at 860-647-9824, although the VIP section is almost sold out, but there are general tickets for sale. 

We’re looking forward to seeing you at Cheney Hall!

Tom Rush in concert, with “Best Folk on Friday” act! August 1, 8 pm. Tickets: $30 vip/$25 general.
