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!!!	25 Peter Case Start: 08/25/2010 8:00 pm Three-time Grammy nominee and acclaimed singer-songwriter Peter Case has carved out an impressive niche for himself. His dynamic, emotionally charged musical blend reveals the wide terrain Peter has ranged since he began performing in the mid-sixties, including stints with the groundbreaking punk band The Nerves and with new wave pioneers The Plimsouls, before he took a dive into the deep end of folk music over a decade ago.	26 Fiddle Summit: Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas, Darol Anger's Republic of Strings, Kimberley Fraser and Cali McKasson, Mary Ann Kennedy, Tony McManus, Nic Gareiss Start: 08/26/2010 8:00 pm There will be some limited standing room only tickets available once the show starts at 8:00 pm for $25.50.	27 Edlos Start: 08/27/2010 8:00 pm Say it isn't so...the Edlos, retiring? Make sure you don't miss this dynamic a cappella quartet as they kick off their Farewell Tour on our stage with an all-ages evening of beautifully harmonized swan songs.	28 West Coast Live Start: 08/28/2010 10:00 am Two hours of slow-food radio with conversation, music, and play, from 10 am to noon.
