Open Mic for a Cause: This Saturday, November 18 in Front Royal
Please come out for a great night of fun and entertainment in Front Royal. We have a fantastic line up of musicians, poets, dancers, actors, and other performers who are coming together to support Roof Over Their Heads, a nonprofit that supports the homeless in Warren County.
The event is free but donations are encouraged and we will have a raffle, food, and drinks.
The event starts at 7 PM and will take place at the What Matters/Open House space to the left of the Daily Grind on Main Street.
Featured Performers:
- Local musicians Noah Waggener and Mike Shotton of the Daycare Swindlers, along with bassist Rafe Ruggierio, will unveil a new musical project.
- Alan King, a poet who has published 2 books of poems, Drift and Point Blank, will read from new work. He holds an MFA in creative writing, is a 3-time Pushcart Prize nominee, and has been nominated 3 times for Best of the Net.
