Playing a song at a local Bar's open mic tonight, any tips?
I'm expecting a fairly good crowd this close to the "holiday" and my understanding is it's good folks all around. This is one of the bigger open mic's in my area (Salt Hill Pub, Lebanon, NH). My sister is actually a regular there and sometimes sings with the house band so that gives me some courage.
I'm only planning to do 1 song, "Don't Think Twice" by Bob Dylian which I do in a pretty peppy way more like PP&M then Dylan. Figure I'll have my chord to plug in to an amp if possible. I'm told they have all the amps and mics there and the "house band" runs the show.
Playing my Islander Tenor, low g. Been practicing like crazy though I hope to have the music in front of me to keep the words straight in case of jangled nerves.
I play regularly with my uke club and groups of friends but this is the first time I'll be playing solo in front of a room full of strangers.
Any tips?
