Open Mic Event

October 21, 2008

Last week I attended an event at J.R. Crickets restaurant featuring spoken word artist, musicians and singers.  I will be honest, I was not sure what to expect.  J.R. Crickets is known for their great wings and ribs.  I had no idea they did events on certain nights.  I found out they have this particular event every first and third Thursday.  They also have Texas Hold-em poker, Karaoke, and other live music on certain days.

I was impressed with the event on Thursday held by Rhythm of Life Entertainment.  The MC was very entertaining.  He even recited some of his own work.  The performances were great.  Three artists performed separately.  Two played instruments while singing.   The spoken word artists were awesome!  They covered a variety of topics.  Several left us thinking when they got off the stage.  There was a lot of talent in the building.

I love open mic event and live performances.  I am glad I attended this event.  I plan to attend others that Rhythm of Life holds.  The event was well organized and proceeded without long pauses.  There was a mixture of talent and great environment.
