Open Mic.  WINTERING, DEATH, CROSSING OVER. Years ago we did that theme for our annual winter concert at Mike Shirkey’s and thought no one would come but […]

Hosted by Walter Schmidt! Sunday Nov, 6, 7pm

Please wear masks when using the restroom or going inside Omni. We want everyone to stay SAFE. That said….Open Mic starts at 7:00 and we have some lighting because it […]
