Looking for great entertainment mixed with stimulating conversation? Poets, comedians, musicians, and more are all welcome. Even if you would just like to provide a supportive listening ear for other performers, please join us for this hybrid version of our monthly Open Mic Night.

This month at 6:30 we also have an opening concert live on our front lawn and streaming over Zoom featuring the beautiful original compositions of Brad Winchell and the supportive sax and flute of Richard Reiter. 

Brad Winchell is a composer and member of the local High Mileage Band. He is also the host of his own open mic at Trend Coffee & Tea House in Montclair, NJ.

Richard Reiter is an Emmy Award winning composer who has been a jazz soloist in the Broadway show "Dancin" and with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. He has also backed such artists as Frank Sinatra, The Supremes, and more.
