 All
performers are welcome to participate in this event that has produced
some of our brightest performers, including: Shawn Colvin, Dana Carvey,
Alvin Youngblood Hart, and Patrick Landeza.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS!
One unique aspect of our Open Mic is that, unlike those held in noisy
bars where people show up in spite of the fact that there's live music,
you will be playing to a supportive group of friends and performers who
are actually listening!!!

Tonight he brings us songs new and old, including selections from his new live CD, Two Sets.

 Swingin' tunes! Cowboy crooning! Yodeling pyrotechnics! Yes folks, all this and much more can be yours at the only Freight show this year where you can witness a man in a ten gallon hat yodel, play accordion, two-step, and twirl a lariat—all at the same time. The Freight's favorite sagebrush performer, Sourdough Slim, transports us to a whimsical, infectious world where vaudevillian camp and cowboy lore intermingle, producing grins galore.
