The Souvenir write their own music and perform every song like it was the last day on earth. The words "every ounce of energy, you try to give away" from the Bob Seger tune "Turn The Page" best describes this bands attitude. If your a rock n roll fan, this is a "must see" band.

We've kept in contact ever since and when I started Open Mic USA a little over a year ago, he was one of the first people to perform. Working a regular day job and playing at night as a solo act and also performing with his band, Karl has found it a little difficult to get down to Napper Tandy's for open mic. Luckily for us he found some time last Tuesday night and performed several of his original tunes for us; and what a great job he did!

First formed in 1995 as, in their words, "the alternative to the alternative", Korotory has been rockin' the area for over 14 years now. Having shared the stage with Metal giants such as Death, Nevermore, Iced Earth, Hammerfall, Bloodclot, M.O.D. and Suicide City, and performing several shows a month, and beginning work on a new CD, I was glad they found a little time to put on a show for us at Napper Tandy's. As of Feb 28th 2009 they have signed with Last Resort Records and released their debut album "Age of Rebellion." GOOD LUCK GUYS! Hoping to see them back, Open Mic USA presents Korotory performing "A.P.M." PS. For more information about Korotory, Please visit their Mysapce page at "myspace.com/korotory" (Please note, as is the nature of this genre of music, this band was very loud and a little difficult to record on such a small stage.

What a fun band this is; a true favorite at Open Mic USA. Invited down once again for a birthday bash, Radio Drama had them moshing in the isles, which made me a little nervous with 15 grand worth of recording equipment on and off stage, but sensing my apprehension the moshers kept it down to a small mush; thanks guys. With their new guitar player Jamie Gates the band banged out one great original after another and sounding tighter than ever; and they should considering they are playing all over Long Island and Manhattan. (see their myspace link below for their schedule) This recording really shows the fun nature of the band as you hear them drag the birthday girl Dara on stage to sing the last chorus.

John was batting 5th that night at a time when everybody had decided to go get a drink or step outside for a breath of fresh, smokey air; ... a "seventh inning stretch" so to speak. Being the true professional he is and making light of the situation, John played on. I'm glad he did because he performed this tune in which he co-rote with Parisa Mantazaran. Playing it live for the first time and having only written it a few day ago he did a great job composing and performing the music behind the imaginative lyrics of Parisa Mantazaran. I can't wait to hear more from this writing team! Looking forward to his next performance, Open Mic USA presents John Paciulli performing "FISH". PS.

With only a short time to get their new act together, Don Lee, Mike McCarthy and Tom Abbene are sounding tighter than ever. Always a favorite at Open Mic USA, Modus used this tune to show off their new guitar player Chris Randazzo. Still getting acquainted with the song, Chis fishes around a little in the begging, adding a few chords here and a couple a licks there, mainly listening and trying to catch the groove. It doesn't take to long for him to see the light and by mid song there's no stopping him. Just as the song sound like it coming to an end, the band switches gears and breaks into a wild jam; that's when Chris shows us what he's got. He is a great addition to the group and I'm looking forward to their next performance. Once again Open Mic USA gives you a much improved "Modus" performing "Satellite Suitcase" PS.

As owner of "A Plus Electric" here on Long Island, Tad Cudak has found it a little difficult to get to Open Mic USA lately. Lucky for us he found a little time the other night to come down and bang out a few tunes including one of my favorites, "New Day." Hope to see him back real soon.

As luck would have it, Kevin Burke (Barrelhouse) lives near by. A solo guitarist, Kevin plays a mix of acoustic fingerstyle, country and blues. He's got a great voice too. Unfortunately Kevin does not sing on this track. Fortunately his fingers do. I'm very happy Kevin was able to make the transition to Open Mic USA's new location and very pleased to present---------Barrelhouse PS Look for other Barrelhouse performances on this podcast. http://www.openmicusa1.com/Maine%20In%20October.mp3 http://www.openmicusa1.com/Maine%20In%20October.mp3 Mon, 26 May 2008 12:00:00 -0400 Performing Arts no 00:03:00 Barrelhouse, Kevin Burke, performing arts, live music, new music, music, original music, comedy, poetry, Miller Place, USA, New York, Long Island, open mic usa, open mic, open mic podcast, podcast, acoustic, acoustic podcast Duo-p Some "spoken word" by Duo-P at Open Mic USA Well folks, I've moved Open Mic USA to Napper Tandy's Irish Pub in Miller Place and after hearing Duo-P, I'm glad I did. New to my open mic, David Socci and his partner Scott Segal (doing a great job on congas by the way), were disguised as spectators the whole night, sitting at the bar, enjoying the tunes (and the 2-fers on Buffalo wings). David came up to me as the last act was going on stage and asked if he could go on next. I have not had any poets or comedians perform at Open Mic USA to date, so I was happy he had asked. Gaining control of the crowd from the start, Duo-P quickly had the people in the palm of their hands. GREAT JOB GUYS!!! Hoping to see them back again, Open Mic USA is proud to present------------- Duo-P PS See their Myspace page, keyword "Duo-P" http://www.openmicusa1.com/Jackie%20Collins&%20A%20Giraffe%20Called%20Love.mp3 http://www.openmicusa1.com/Jackie%20Collins%20%26%20A%20Giraffe%20Called%20Love.mp3 Thu, 22 May 2008 12:00:00 -0400 Performing Arts no 00:04:22 David Socci, Duo P, poetry, spoken word, performing arts, live music, new music, music, original music, comedy, poetry, Miller Place, USA, New York, Long Island, open mic usa, open mic, open mic podcast, podcast, acoustic, acoustic podcast George Campbell George Campbell performs "One For The Road" at Open Mic USA A third original by George Campbell.

He would usually go to another open mic at the Chowder House in Bellport early enough to perform there and then get in his car and drive to Patchogue to catch the end my open mic. I had lost touch with John when that open mic ended a couple of years ago and was surprised to see him at Open Mic USA this week. I'm glad he's back and happy to present Libran Son. PS.

He was a friend of one of the managers of the restaurant and he stopped in one night with his twelve string in hand. I had just started that particular open mic and I only had a few performers there that night; I was glad he stopped in. He returned the following week and continued coming almost every week for three years. (Thanks George) Now two years later, continuing his tradition of weekly performances, Open Mic USA is proud to present George Campbell.

He put his name on the list, order a beer and sat quietly on the side of the room listening to the other musicians perform. It was finally his turn on stage and as usual the volume of the crowd picked up as I made the transition from one act to an other and by the time Peter was ready to start, not to many people were paying attention. That all change the second peter opened his mouth to sing. I am pleased to present Peter Tassone as the first podcast from Open Mic USA. PS If you like this song you will love his art work. Both reflect his lifelong interest in railroads, especially during the steam era.
