The audience is always supportive, and the vibe is all about creativity and community.</h4>

Hosts


DEDE ONDISHKO, Ph.D. (fiddle, keys and vocals) started playing piano at the age of seven at the Peabody Conservatory and went on to Carnegie Mellon University and Eastman School of Music (Ph.D.). Dede is a retired music teacher and continues to enjoy writing concert music. She plays fiddle with both Prickly Pear Jam at O'Caine's on Saturday afternoons and the Scottish Fiddlers of LA seasonally. Dede co-hosts the Bluegrass Jam at Date Palm on the second Sunday of each month. Her favorite thing about music: it connects us heart to heart.


JASON POWELL, Ph.D. is our only true local leprechaun. In disguise during the day hours as a music teacher, musician, author, artist, woodworker, and family man; you can occasionally catch him sneaking about in his true form performing Irish music as "Plastic Paddy's Midlife O'Crisis" or his Irish Duo, "Paradox in Clover" with Dr. Dede Ondishko. ¨Music is the only true magic we have. It brings cultures together, evokes emotions, brings back memories, helps us physically work better, challenges our mental capacities, enhances our faith, brings us genuine happiness, and always meets us right where we are.¨— Dr. Jason Powell


OPEN MIC PERFORMERS - PLEASE READ

We welcome all acoustic music styles, with an emphasis on Americana--roots, folk, country, bluegrass, blues, traditional, soft rock, Indie, and so much more! 

We don't use tracks so be ready to play your own accompaniment or bring another performer along.

All participants must have a ticket.

Here's how it works: Buy a ticket for you and your guests. Show up when the house opens at 5PM and sign up on the clipboard at the front of the stage. Be ready for your turn and bring your instrument(s) up to be plugged in.

We have four microphones, two line-level connections and a full keyboard ready for you.

Your performance time is 10 minutes, allowing for two songs, including any dialogue.  

After you perform, mingle with the other guests to give and receive feedback on what went well!
