The Open Mic Diaries: Live @ The Boat
In my continuing odyssey to check out the multitude of open mics in the Toronto area I dropped in at The Boat in Kensington Market last Wednesday and was quite entertained. This is a well run event hosted by Fred Knight which has now surpassed its 50th show. Eclectic. Democratic. A two song limit for each performer and no dead spots. And there’s a definitely a line up for sign up so get there early. There’s also more focus on band jams so if that’s your thing, this is definitely the place to be on Wednesday nights. You can find the details here: facebook.com/boatopenmic.
