Have spent the last two nights holed up in my apartment taking care of business and other bits and pieces and trying to finish off the writing of a new song. But I also knew that if I played nowhere on Friday and Saturday, I was spoiled for opportunities on Sunday. Somehow all the stars have aligned this weekend and there is an embarrassment of choices in open mics tonight. So I thought I’d put that slightly sneaky headline just as a foretaste to tonight’s full slate of open mics. It will be interesting to see where I end up….
Today is the once per month open mic at the Lizard Lounge, where they do the open mic only the first Sunday of the month.
There is also a new open mic at El Tonel, a tapas bar at 5 rue des Pyramides, metro tuileries.
The Pop In is every Sunday, of course.
For some time Belushi’s has advertised a Sunday open mic but every time I call they say it is not happening, as there is something more important like soccer….
And there is a big open mic, jam session in Bagnolet, at La Clinique des Arts Bis, 60 avenue Gambetta, 93170 Bagnolet
And never forget the blues jam session at the Caveau des Oubliettes tonight too….
I am not sure about this one, but it seems there is an open mic until 7 PM at the Bar des Familles on the rue de Lappe….
Unfortunately, I don’t know if the bar “Be There” still holds its Sunday open mic, and all searching on the internet yields nothing. Too busy to make a phone call today … so wherever I may end up, it won’t … be there…

Hey Brad,
The Be There closed during the summer, so no more open mics from what i know, except if the new owner relaunched the event.
