Get ready to lose those winter blues! Toast & Jam, now in its 11th year, kicks off Feb. 15 at the Brickyard Pub, 432 Center St., Lewiston.
This jazz-jamming, blues-rocking, poetry-reading coffeehouse event is back by popular demand and continues from 7-10 p.m. each Monday until March 22.
Singer-songwriter Dale Campbell hosts the six-week series which is open to all singers, musicians, poets, actors, dancers, comics and performance artists.
Performers sign up as they arrive and play on a first-come, first-served basis. Most of the people who perform at open mics are not professionals. They do it for the love of it and part of the fun for the audience is never knowing what to expect!
“It’s a great atmosphere,” says Campbell. “Very nonjudgmental. By the end of the night, it feels like a sing-along at a friend’s house. Some performers are really good, others are just there to have fun. And everyone loves the delicious food they serve at the Brickyard!”
Highlights from Toast & Jam are featured throughout the year on Lockport Community TV so performers are invited to take advantage of the unique opportunity to enjoy a moment in the spotlight.
Campbell’s calling card boasts a long history of open mics and he also worked closely with the legendary radio personality Iney Wallens. Campbell can be heard regularly on WJJL, “Just Me and the Dog” and “Dale Campbell — All About Town.”
