I'll be hosting the open mic sessions at the Biergarten on Thursdays during Oktoberfest:

Thurs, 25 Oct at 5pm SLT
Thurs, 2 Oct at 11:30am SLT

We're looking to get an interesting mix of acoustic musicians playing music of many varieties: classical, Greek, Portuguese, Irish, American folk, bluegrass, klezmer....you name it. If you know any musicians who might like a slot, please send them in my direction.

It was wonderful to see everyone at the spectacular parade, impressive opening festivities, sim-full live music concerts and --- um --- unexpectedly-not-PG-rated triathlon --- in our first kickoff weekend for CDS Oktoberfest! We also enjoyed an impressive open mic session midweek with 3 excellent live acts .. and I got to hear hometown favorite Alexicon Kurka live with guitar for the first time!

Great thanks to Rose, Cindy, Brian, Lilith, Richie, the many artists, participants and guests who joined us! See Rose's announcements posted here, for this weekend's line up ...and the CDS Google calendar here: "http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?sr ... 0gmail.com"
