Poetry\, comedy\, spoken word\, dance. Bring whatya got!\n\n\nMinors are welcome\, but will need a parent/guardian to join them.\n\n\nPlease respect your reserved time and arrive 30 minutes ahead of your chosen time.\n\n\n\n9 Tips to Rock Open Mic\n Featured Article\, How To  Making Music\nAny performer will tell you that you can practice for years in the comfort and privacy of your room\, but it’s not until you take your act to a stage in front of live people that you’ll really hone your craft. If you’re not ready to book shows of your own\, how can you get comfortable on a stage? Open mic events can solve the problem.\n\n\nOpen mic nights serve as incubators for beginning musicians\, or for more practiced types\, they are a great way to test new material before throwing it into a big show. For the totally fresh player\, it can be a daunting experience. Here are 9 tips to rock open mic so you will be prepared to take the stage and get the most out of the experience. \n9 Tips to Rock Open Mic\n1. Know what kind of an open mic it is. Do a little research before you attend the event. Open mics are not universally the same. Some are all acoustic (no microphones or plugged-in instruments); some are coffeehouse-style where people sit in silence listening to players; some are jams where a backing band or equipment might be provided. Make a trip down to the open mic you’ve got in mind before you participate\, or contact the host to get the details. \n2. Everyone at an open mic knows it’s an open mic. People there are not expecting a Lady Gaga production to walk through the door. They’re expecting a musician (or possibly a small group) to share some material that might be polished\, or it might be the first time performed on a stage. Don’t stress about what people will think. They understand the spirit of the event. \n3. Feel totally comfortable with your material. You’ll probably only have a few songs (many open mics are set by a song or time limit\, usually about three songs or 15 minutes @ The Mission)\, so make sure you’re putting your best foot forward. Just in case you get rattled on stage\, make sure you know the tunes in and out.  \n4. Don’t stress about what to bring. Whoever is running the open mic will have equipment for you and they should be fully capable of setting you up with it. If you’ve never plugged in a guitar or sung into a microphone—don’t worry. They’ll make sure you do it right and that it sounds good. That’s part of the Open Mic experience at The Mission. We have a full back line: Guitars – acoustic/electric\, electric & amp and bass & amp. Full drum kit & Yamaha keyboard. Mics\, cables\, stands. And our sound technician is here to help. \n5. Don’t be afraid to ask. Open mic beginners may think they are completely at the host’s mercy. Truth is\, we’re here to make you sound good! That said\, if you can’t hear yourself\, vocals are too loud\, guitar is too quiet\, whatever\, by all means\, tell them! \n6. Don’t be afraid to trust. The host should understand their sound system very well\, so trust that once you’re settled on stage they’re making it sound right out front. If you’re happy with what’s in your monitor sound\, leave the rest to them. We know our system inside and out. It’s a small room and you have 15 minutes. Let us do our job and make the room sound perfect for your performance.  \n7. Support other players. If you don’t want to be judged\, don’t judge other people. Open mics are a place to try material you might not get to try on other stages. Celebrate the people who come to share their art. Cannot emphasize this enough! This is the spirit of Open Mic Nights at The Mission. Enough said. \n8. Network. Open mics are musician hangouts—take advantage! If you’re looking to start a band or find musicians to see elsewhere\, there’s a good chance they’ll be hanging out at an open mic. We’re on Season 12 at The Mission full of Open Mic Stories of success. \n9. Learn from the experience. Every time you walk away from an open mic\, there is something to learn. How were you received? What feedback did people give you? Did you feel more comfortable? How did you compare with the other players? Honestly analyze the event to improve your performance next time. And take the compliments even if you know you made mistakes. You still entertained folks. \n(10) And finally\, HAVE FUN! Open mics are meant\, most of all\, to be fun. Musicians get to mingle\, everyone gets to play\, and even if you have the biggest flub of all time—it’s all in the spirit of open mic. To take the stage at all is to win. Enjoy it\, learn from the experience\, and have a good time! Join us for Open Mic Night\, share some air and feel the Mission Magic!

SUMMARY:Cody Pursifull
DESCRIPTION:Doors@4pm \nSHOW@7:30pm \n$5 Cover \nFACEBOOK LINK \nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Cody-Pursifull.mp4\n\n\n\n \n“I grew up around music watching my Grandpa play Country & Western to his fans. Watching Hee-Haw and The Grand Ole Opry every night with that same great man added to my inspiration to pursue my passion for music. Once I hit the age of 5 my grandpa started showing me chords on the acoustic guitar which lead to starting guitar lessons with a Missouri Folk Music Legend Lee Ruth at Crazy Music in Columbia\, Missouri. Lee showed me how to put the chords together to form a song and introduced me to Traditional Folk and Bluegrass tunes. I continued lessons with Lee for about 8 years until I discovered the band Free and Jimi Hendrix. These artists steered me towards my love of the Les Paul and the Stratocaster sending me in a different musical direction. As the years went on I have been continuously influenced by bands such as The Allman Brothers\, The Band of Gypsies\, The Grateful Dead\, and Cream. Because of these influences I became partial to what is known as “The Southern Sound” or “Southern Rock”. It was that exact sound that paved the road ahead of me in my music career. Although “The Southern Sound” is my first love\, I still yearned for something more. This yearning sparked my journey with Solo Acoustic performances playing Old Gospel and traditional folk tunes. In 2010 my mother moved to New York City and I would soon follow her to experience the Big Apple myself. After living in New York City a year and a half I never really found a place I felt musically comfortable with. After the Towers fell on 9/11 I knew at that moment it was time go back home to Missouri where my heart truly lies. Once back in the Show Me State I started to immerse myself into the music scene of Columbia\, Missouri. I religiously attended the local Blues Jams and eventually befriended Ted & Shelly Tyson. The Tyson’s had a Chicago style Blues band called Serious Blues Band and they quickly invited me to become a member. We played our hearts out for 5 years before that yearning for something more started to overcome me and I made the decision to try my hand at forming my own band. I established The Highwater Band in 2014 with fellow bandmates Don Atchley and The Jolly Brother’s bassist Tim Shields. The excitement of my electric band needed some balance\, so I decided to go back that old Folk\, Country\, and Bluegrass music learning as many songs as I could to continue down the path of my solo acoustic career. Musical inspirations such as Jerry Garcia\, Kevin Welch\, and Bob Dylan added to my influence. After 3 years with The Highwater Band we parted ways in the Summer of 2017. Parting ways was a bitter sweet moment\, but it encouraged me to really find my place and allowed me more time to focus my energy on acoustic endeavors. I started writing my own songs with the first hit being a tune called “End Of The Line”. I pulled my inspiration from my moments living in New York City during 9/11 and the following year I wrote “Graveyard Showdown” building on those same experiences. I wanted to pay tribute to that same great man to started the whole thing and composed “His Guitar”. Music is more than just notes on a paper and words on a sheet\, its about the looks on fans faces after hearing my tunes which for me is priceless.” – Cody Pursifull

SUMMARY:Kris Lager Band {RETURNS!}
DESCRIPTION:Doors@6pm \nSHOW@8:30pm \nTickets @DOOR $10 \nTable Reservations $20 SOLD OUT \nFACEBOOK {Kris Lager Band}\nWEBSITE {Kris Lager Band} \n \nKris Lager is a one-of-a-kind songwriter\, guitarist\, singer\, keyboardist\, and entertainer. An intense and charismatic performer who has traveled across the country honing his craft over the last two decades . He has developed a unique ‘Celebrate Life’ message and mantra that emanates with every performance. A message that creates a congregation of dancing\, singing\, and clapping people with smiles on their faces at every show.\nMany of his peers are calling him: “One of the most gifted songwriters of his generation.”\nWorld renowned musician Andy Frasco recently called Kris “His favorite songwriter!” on his ‘World Saving Podcast’ and said a lot of the songs for which he has built his ‘positive’ foundation on were written by Kris. Legendary Rock ‘n’ Roll Producer\, who has mixed two of Kris’ albums\, Jim Gaines (Santana\, SRV\, Van Morrison\, Steve Miller) says Kris has “A great voice and great songs!” Paste Magazine calls the music “The kind of toe-tapping rhythm that sometimes you just need to make it through a day.”\nA Lincoln native based out of Omaha\, Nebraska\, Kris and his band have built a reputation as a hardworking Independent band refusing to play by industry rules or pander for awards and accolades. They just hit the road and the stage with an intense purpose of uplifting and engaging audiences while delivering a flavorful gumbo of feel good rhythms and soulful songs.\nNew album: ‘Blues Lover’\nIt seems like a lot of folks have gotten rather nostalgic throughout this past year and a half of the pandemic and it is safe to say Kris Lager has too. He found himself going back to his blues roots; back to where he started when he first picked up a guitar.\nHis first stage experiences were at a weekly Blues Jam at Duggan’s Pub in Lincoln\, Nebraska and also playing at the world famous Zoo Bar. Kris Frequently played alongside Nebraska Blues legends such as Magic Slim\, Lil’ Slim\, Baby Jason\, and Sean Benjamin. All of them nurturing and inspiring his love for blues music.\n“I’ve never released a straight up blues record before and I thought.. you know what? I’m gonna go for it. I’m gonna record these songs that I’ve been playing for twenty years and just have some fun.” said Kris. Eight of his most beloved blues songs as well as two original tunes comprise the new album ‘Blues Lover’.\nThere’s two Albert King tracks\, a Shuggie Otis tune as well as Buddy Guy\, Paul Butterfield\, Shawn Holt\, Snooky Pryor\, and Blind Lemon Jefferson covers on the recording rounded out by two original songs: ‘I Just Want To See You happy’ and ‘Back Home To The Blues’ co-written by Mark Ryan.\nThe album was recorded and mixed by Kris Lager himself at his studio ‘The Conduit’ and released on his label ‘Fervent Ameba Records’. The first of many self-produced recordings according to Kris. All songs were recorded live straight to tape using his legendary Tascam 388 tape machine. “This recording was exactly the sound I was going after. A squishy analog sound that gives the listener an old school vibe. A vibe that I really dig as a blues lover and I think other blues lovers will too. With the help of Doug Van Sloun from Focus Mastering I believe we achieved a great sounding recording.” exclaims Kris.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\nScooby Sha Bo Bo AKA John Fairchild\nThe heartbeat of the band.\nHe’s been traveling and laying down the groove for KLB for over a decade.\nHe is one of the most dynamic drummers you will ever witness and a freestylist extraordinaire!!\n \n \n\n \nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/22746792_127649104610607_7958935468798640128_n.mp4 \nFor well over a decade The Kris Lager Band has been a vehicle for Kris Lager’s unique brand of original music. Self described as ‘Heavy Soul & Boogie Trance’ KLB doesn’t fall neatly into any one category or genre. The best way to categorize them would be ‘Feel Good Music’ because as soon as it hits you\, you just feel good! Whether it is a funky soulful number\, a groovy beat\, a boogie guitar driven riff\, or a tug on your heart strings ballad. A KLB song or show has that ability to just lift you up and make you feel good EVERYTIME!!\nA KLB show is a legitimate Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival and an Electric Church. The energy this band throws out from the drop of the first note creates a feel good dancing\, singing\, and hollering great time. One that is truly contagious and impossible to sit still through. Kris Lager is one of the most dynamic front men you’ll ever witness with an unrivaled level of intensity and showmanship. He delivers raw\, and powerful music through his emotional guitar playing and singing.\nThis brand of ‘Feel Good Music’ all begins with intentions. “I began playing music and writing music purely as a means of expression.” says Kris. “Put me in a crowded room and I wouldn’t say two words\, but if you gave me a guitar and a microphone you would have to kick me off of the stage. I found music to be a wonderful safe haven in which I could exist and escape to whenever I desired. As I matured and grew I realized just how much joy could come from communicating with your bandmates and entertaining people\, all the while expressing myself at the same time.”\nAs soon as Kris hits the stage you get the feeling you are witnessing a man on a mission. “I hit the stage with one intention and that is lifting up spirits. I believe the way to do that is through awareness of myself and others. It is something I call ‘The Holy Trinity of music’. There is me\, the musician\, and then my bandmates (or the people I am creating the music with)\, and then there is the audience. When I am in constant awareness of all three elements that is when the real magic happens. That is what I strive for as a performer\, musician\, and songwriter.”\nThat is just scratching the surface of all of the nuances and ingredients that went into this record and whats behind KLB. Please download or pick up the CD and help keep these troubadours on the road. There are also plenty of music in KLB’s back catalogue to dig into\, and definitely go see KLB whenever they come to your neck of the woods. They will change your life!\nCELEBRATE LIFE!!!\nThe Legendary Bluesman\, Tab Benoit is also a fan. Proclaiming “These guys are the real deal! Go see them whenever they come to your town!” He produced and recorded KLB’s 2013 release ‘Platte River Runaway’ at his home studio in Houma\, Louisiana. Soon after they worked with Tab Benoit they went to San Francisco and recorded with Bay area funk maestros\, Monophonics at their Transistor Studios. The result was 2014’s ‘Heavy Soul & Boogie Trance’ mixed by Orgone’s Sergio Rios. The release caught the attention of Ohio’s Colemine Records\, who released two of the tracks as a 45 and also featured the release on their internationally distributed Soul Slabs LP.\n        \n \n \n \n2010 @ The Mission….we love us some Kris Lager Band!

SUMMARY:Jeremiah Johnson {RETURNS!}
DESCRIPTION:Doors@4pm \nSHOW@8pm \nTickets $15 \nTable Reservations $20  SOLD OUT \nFACEBOOK {Jeremiah Johnson} \nWEBSITE {Jeremiah Johnson} \nJeremiah Johnson\nSINGER SONGWRITER – GUITARIST\n \nBorn and raised in St. Louis\, Jeremiah Johnson is the voice of Mississippi River blues blending with the struggles of everyday life. He began learning guitar at age 6\, drawing inspiration from his rich St. Louis blues heritage and legendary guitarists\, like Alvin Lee\, Eric Clapton and Hank Williams Sr. and Jr. With these influences\, Johnson began building his musical foundation.\nAfter relocating to Houston\, TX\, in 1999\, Johnson finished in first place for three consecutive years at the Houston Regional Blues Challenges\, sponsored by the Houston Blues Society. Johnson returned to St. Louis in 2009\, and merged Texas style with STL blues to create the unique sound you hear today. The 10 years Johnson lived and performed in Texas changed his musical style in ways you can still hear in his music today. In 2011\, Johnson was the proud winner of the St. Louis Blues Society IBC Challenge and went on to the semifinals to represent St. Louis in Memphis\, TN. One year later\, Sirius XM’s B.B. King’s Bluesville picked up the Jeremiah Johnson Band\, where they can be heard nationwide\, and they have been playing his music ever since. You can also hear Jeremiah Johnson on Touch Tunes Jukeboxes in bars/clubs across the US and on radio stations around the world. In September 2014\, Johnson filmed his docu-concert\, Ride the Blues\, directed by Australian Producer/Director Gary Glenn\, at the historic Capitol Theater in downtown Burlington\, IA. The film is live music video about Johnson’s rise to prominence\, featuring intimate interview segments\, still photography\, guitar solos and stunning vocals. Donations from concert attendees were generously given to the theater and to the National Blues Museum\, connecting Johnson’s roles of musician and music advocate. 2014 Johnson records Grind\, produced by Devon Allman\, features Grammy award winner Yonrico Scott on drums. Grind has been featured on SiriusXM’s B.B. King’s Bluesville\, and on the international radio show “Confessing the Blues”\, broadcasting on 50 stations in 10 countries worldwide. Grind reached the #8 slot on the Billboard Blues Charts the week of November 7th\, 2015.\nJohnson follows the success of Grind with a self-produced release\, Blues Heart Attack\, released worldwide on July 22\, 2016. This unique record is a blend of Johnson’s entire musical career. “It’s a combination of our earlier works\, and then Grind\,” he explained. “There’s horns and keyboard reminiscent of Brand Spankn’ Blues\, but also some heavy guitar driven tracks. It’s the evolution of everything in a Blues Heart Attack.” Special guest performers include Tom ‘Papa’ Ray on harmonica\, and Nathan Hershey on keys. Blues Heart Attack reached #5 on the Billboard Blues Charts following its release in 2016.\nAfter signing a record deal with Ruf Records in March of 2018\, Jeremiah immediately went to Texas to record his debut Ruf Records release\, Straitjacket\, with BMA award winning Mike Zito producing. Straitjacket debuted #1 on iTunes New Blues Releases and #6 on Billboard Blues Album Chart and has been in the top of the Roots Music Report ever since. After a European tour with Mike Zito in the Beginning of 2019 and then followed by a Northeastern USA tour with Zito again\, Johnson has truly electrified a whole new audience.\nJohnson released\, “Heavens to Betsy”\, his 2nd Ruf Records Release on February 14th\, 2020. Johnson started out 2020 touring with the Ruf Records Blues Caravan 2020 and separately with his band though out 2020. Then the Covid-19 Pandemic shut down the industry worldwide.\nJeremiah Johnson takes the dangers of the COVID-19 virus as seriously as his music career. But no matter how you look at it\, the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic has effectively put him out of work. “Unemployed Highly Annoyed” is Johnson’s response to the adverse situation. 2020 started the year on a high note when his Ruf Records release\, “Heavens to Betsy”\, debuted at #3 on the Billboard Blues Album charts and soon climbed to the coveted #1 spot by April 11th. With a #1 record and 70+ European Tour dates scheduled with the “2020 Ruf Records Blues Caravan”; Johnson was set to have a breakout year before everything came to a crashing halt. Quarantined at home for months\, Johnson decided it was time to get creative. “Being forced into unemployment has been beyond frustrating. I decided to produce an album of songs inspired by the “Covid-19 Pandemic” and try to turn the roller coaster of emotions into something musical. This is truly a concept album.” Johnson exclaims. The final product is a first-class Blues/Roots Rock record that is packed full of stunning guitar work coupled with soulfully passionate bluesy southern vocals. “Unemployed Highly Annoyed” is a striking musical reflection of the times that delivers a message the entire world can relate to.\nReleased on 10/30/2020\, “Unemployed Highly Annoyed” hit #4 on the Billboard Blues Album Charts on 11/14/2020. Giving Johnson the unique honor of having to new releases in 2020 hit the top 5.\nJeremiah Johnson blends the sounds of the south\, with Mississippi River blues and a touch of country flair. Emotionally charged southern blues rock\, powered by the common man’s passion for life and all the struggles in-between. Songs with meaning\, a powerfully persuasive voice and master class musicianship. “Unemployed Highly Annoyed” has caught lightning in a bottle with this masterful snapshot of these difficult times and is truly a testament to his talent. Possibly the best record of Johnsons career\, born from the most challenging time in his life as a musician.

The show would go down infamously in history and Down Side Up’s journey would begin. Joe Lawler soon after parted ways\, but will always remain a founding member. In order to prepare for the 7th grade talent show Ryan and Aaron would join forces with friends Jason Kremer (lead guitar) and Adam Buhr (bass). This team in fact did go on to nail their talent show performance and make several house party\, birthday\, and county fair appearances. Freshmen year of high school the band once again parted. Aaron Mankin and Ryan Mankin were soon introduced to Helias High School Senior\, Hunter O’Donnell\, bass player. The three of them and guitarist Jason Kremer once again prepared for yet another talent show but their audition was denied. Ryan Mankin\, Aaron Mankin\, and Hunter O’Donnell\, the current lineup\, began their long jouney of vengeance\, delving deep into themselves and harnessing their Rock n’ Roll chakra. The trio began playing bars/music venues in 2013 at such establishments as the Mission in Jefferson City\, MO and later the Bridge in Columbia\, MO\, now located in Jefferson City.

SUMMARY:Clay Benne {All Night Happy Hour!!}
DESCRIPTION:Doors@4pm \nSHOW 7-9pm \nNo Cover – Tips kindly appreciated \nINSTAGRAM LINK {Clay Benne} \nClay Benne walked through our doors this past summer for Open Mic Night. Since then Clay has joined our ever popular early show and ALL NIGHT HAPPY HOUR on Tuesday evenings. Benne also opened our stage for legendary singer-songwriter\, Josh Morningstar!  Order delivery\, bring in carry out and join us for some Live and Local.  Keepin’ it Live and supporting LOCAL!\n“For me\, music started when I would ride in my dad’s truck with the radio stuck on classic rock. Growing up around it made me want to pick up a guitar and learn to play along. But it wasn’t until late in high school that I understood how much of a hold it had on me\, even more so when there’s a girl involved. Artists like Eric Church and Kip Moore helped me make sense of a lot of things in my life and inspired me to want to do it for myself by writing my own songs. Music has always been there for me in any situation and I hope that I can share that with others.” – Clay Benne\nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/xTz0ahqIQY0JB94.mp4 \nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/wjtz26FB3UmkorK.mp4 \nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/HnwhDZj4UVm0kkT.mp4 \nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/K60qOLEzbKmgXnU.mp4

The entry fee will go as a donation to JCPS Orchestra Program. Seven years ago it came to our attention it costs approximately $6\,000 annually for repairs and maintenance on the instruments that are provided for FREE to any 5th-12th grade students in JCPS.  Monies donated from past Holiday Hootnenannies have been raised to help offset those costs. Good News! The school district is now funding instrument repair and most of the basics:  new strings\, new cases\, new music\, etc.  “Now that our boosters are free of having to pay for instrument repair we can start dreaming about new ways to help our kids!  We’re now starting to focus our efforts on things such as raising money for clinicians\, music theory computer programs\, more electric instruments (we only have two electric violins and one amp right now)\, etc.  Even though the Hootenanny was started to help us with instrument repair we would love to keep working with you on the Hootenanny to help create new opportunities for our students.” – Aimee Veile (JCHS Orchestra)\nThis is a fantastic service that has continued for almost 50 years in Jefferson City.  Giving the gift of music to our children is one we can get behind! ‘Tis the season…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Adam-Hunt-and-Paul-Holiday-Hootenanny-5.mp4 \n\n\n\nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Katie-Anne-Holiday-Hootenanny-V.mp4 \nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/81328813_2571650486287824_5950460155320598528_n.mp4

Yes\, I admitted that publicly. LOL! However\, sharing their talent and time during the holiday is greatly appreciated. There is nothing family friendly about the evening\, but laughter rings throughout the night\, the music is stellar and I promise someone will walk through the door you’re happy to see. I’ve missed this birthday celebration the last few years. Join us\, it’s my birthday!! -Jenny Babcock

If you’re not ready to book shows of your own\, how can you get comfortable on a stage? Open mic events can solve the problem.\n\n\nOpen mic nights serve as incubators for beginning musicians\, or for more practiced types\, they are a great way to test new material before throwing it into a big show. For the totally fresh player\, it can be a daunting experience. Here are 9 tips to rock open mic so you will be prepared to take the stage and get the most out of the experience.\n9 Tips to Rock Open Mic\n1. Know what kind of an open mic it is. Do a little research before you attend the event. Open mics are not universally the same. Some are all acoustic (no microphones or plugged-in instruments); some are coffeehouse-style where people sit in silence listening to players; some are jams where a backing band or equipment might be provided. Make a trip down to the open mic you’ve got in mind before you participate\, or contact the host to get the details.\n2. Everyone at an open mic knows it’s an open mic. People there are not expecting a Lady Gaga production to walk through the door. They’re expecting a musician (or possibly a small group) to share some material that might be polished\, or it might be the first time performed on a stage. Don’t stress about what people will think. They understand the spirit of the event.\n3. Feel totally comfortable with your material. You’ll probably only have a few songs (many open mics are set by a song or time limit\, usually about three songs or 15 minutes @ The Mission)\, so make sure you’re putting your best foot forward. Just in case you get rattled on stage\, make sure you know the tunes in and out. \n4. Don’t stress about what to bring. Whoever is running the open mic will have equipment for you and they should be fully capable of setting you up with it. If you’ve never plugged in a guitar or sung into a microphone—don’t worry. They’ll make sure you do it right and that it sounds good. That’s part of the Open Mic experience at The Mission. We have a full back line: Guitars – acoustic/electric\, electric & amp and bass & amp. Full drum kit & Yamaha keyboard. Mics\, cables\, stands. And our sound technician is here to help.\n5. Don’t be afraid to ask. Open mic beginners may think they are completely at the host’s mercy. Truth is\, we’re here to make you sound good! That said\, if you can’t hear yourself\, vocals are too loud\, guitar is too quiet\, whatever\, by all means\, tell them!\n6. Don’t be afraid to trust. The host should understand their sound system very well\, so trust that once you’re settled on stage they’re making it sound right out front. If you’re happy with what’s in your monitor sound\, leave the rest to them. We know our system inside and out. It’s a small room and you have 15 minutes. Let us do our job and make the room sound perfect for your performance. \n7. Support other players. If you don’t want to be judged\, don’t judge other people. Open mics are a place to try material you might not get to try on other stages. Celebrate the people who come to share their art. Cannot emphasize this enough! This is the spirit of Open Mic Nights at The Mission. Enough said.\n8. Network. Open mics are musician hangouts—take advantage! If you’re looking to start a band or find musicians to see elsewhere\, there’s a good chance they’ll be hanging out at an open mic. We’re on Season 13 at The Mission full of Open Mic Stories of success.\n9. Learn from the experience. Every time you walk away from an open mic\, there is something to learn. How were you received? What feedback did people give you? Did you feel more comfortable? How did you compare with the other players? Honestly analyze the event to improve your performance next time. And take the compliments even if you know you made mistakes. You still entertained folks.\n(10) And finally\, HAVE FUN! Open mics are meant\, most of all\, to be fun. Musicians get to mingle\, everyone gets to play\, and even if you have the biggest flub of all time—it’s all in the spirit of open mic. To take the stage at all is to win. Enjoy it\, learn from the experience\, and have a good time! Join us for Open Mic Night\, share some air and feel the Mission Magic!

Now\, the band’s message is more relevant than ever. Having released multiple albums to critical acclaim and touring coast to coast\, the band has found a new spark with a fresh lineup and the epic new Universal Music Group release Battleship Empire. With a new momentum\, the band is looking to take the mantle once worn by such acts as System of a Down or Rage Against the Machine. Decadent Nation is the new musical voice of resistance and the message has been heard loud and clear as the band have been filling venues on recent tours. Whether it is their through-the-roof energy live performances or their meticulous musicianship\, DN’s blues based\, Alternative Rock sound is as infectiously catchy as it is powerful. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nFACEBOOK {Love-Seats} \n \nLove-Seats are a three-piece band based in Jefferson City\, Missouri\, playing original\, upbeat\, catchy riffs\, steady rhythms\, and melodic feedback with influences from psychedelic and early 60’s rock to proto punk \n \nZak Skinner founder/vocalist/guitarist of Love-Seats \n \nNick Gazca drummer of Love-Seats \n \nJohn Nichols Guitarist of Love-Seats \nBANDCAMP {Love-Seats} \nBANDCAMP {Sound Check} Love-Seats  \nBANDCAMP {Relax\, just do it} Love-Seats \nBANDCAMP {Gimme your love} Love-Seats \n
