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 14 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!

Grab some grub for carry out or delivery and join us for some Live and Local!! \nFACEBOOK {Zak Skinner} \nWEBSITE {Zak Skinner} \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBorn Zachary Dean Skinner on June 9\, 1988 in McKinney\, TX \, he started writing his own music at age 17 drawing his influences mostly from the alternative\, punk and indie/College Rock scene of the early ’90’s. After teaching himself guitar at age 15\, his natural talent\, and curiosity\, led him to learn bass\, blues harmonica\, banjo\, keys\, and drums. “Kick Me!” his first serious band\, formed at the age of 19. They recorded a demo\, and from that\, and countless free gigs\, his fans formed a foundation. Zak recorded a solo album in December of 2013 at Walker Studios in Gordonville\, Tx\, which was a collection of old and new songs he had written over time\, and produced by an old friend\, Tommy Walker. Together\, they have released the 3 song single “DEMO” with a full electric sound\, in fall of 2015. Zak traveled between states from 2013 to 2015 for work with Renaissance festivals. He used the opportunity to travel\, to play as often as he could\, gathering a few friends in different places\, before settling in Jefferson City\, MO. Missouri projects include Love-Seats\, Propaganja\, Rusted Satellites\, Persephone’s Whiskey Lullaby\, All of Us Together\, Collin County Steel & Wire.

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!

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

SUMMARY:John Broom w/special guest Jenny Presley {All Night Happy Hour}
DESCRIPTION:Doors@4pm/Music 7-9pm \nNo Cover – Tips Kindly Appreciated \n                                                  \nI have experienced many uplifting and wonderful moments in my musical journey over the years. It started as a teenager when I would listen to the radio and hear my world come alive through the voices and instruments of the great artists and bands of that day. I would sing those songs while growing up in the small Southeast Missouri town where I lived\, in the cotton fields\, and all along the country roads where I roamed. I tried my hand at guitar with a friend on an old Sears and Roebuck model\, but it wasn’t until much later in college that I got more serious with the instrument. I took classical guitar\, along with piano and vocal lessons and graduated with a Music Education Degree. I earned a teaching certificate but instead of teaching in public schools I began a 15 year journey in church music. I used the guitar in working with youth and senior adults and directed a lot of very good choirs. I directed and performed seasonal programs\, conducted amateur orchestras and choir tours. I worked with a lot of wonderful people and many remain friends to this day. I eventually left church music and started working for the State of Missouri and music had to take a back seat to living and raising a family. During my tenure with the state I worked with more wonderful people\, many of which were excellent musicians. We even found time to occasionally plug some music into our work. And then came retirement and along with it a very large amount of time to fill. Time for doing more of what I loved. I dusted off the guitar and began my musical journey anew. One of the first things I did was to seek out like minded musicians who believed in the the life changing power of music as I did. And although it was a slow process\, I found a few locally and I’m discovering even more and making new friends as I continue writing\, singing\, and playing songs that reflect my musical journey – both old and new. It’s a long and winding journey that has taken a few detours along the way but it’s my journey and it will continue. \n\n                            \n\n\nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/8511F4B2-B59F-4B36-99B5-50A0F645C560.mp4 \nJohn performing on stage for open mic night at The Mission \nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/1ABD65A2-A627-41A3-A9AD-7C2162638140.mp4 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn and his daughter Jenny Presley performing “The Sound Of Silence”  \nhttps://themissionjc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/D30C8AFA-675D-4FBA-8882-68E5E875341E.mp4 \n  \n\n\n\n
