Performer shout-out! 😁

Though we don't have open mic this week, we'd like to give a special shoutout to one of our regulars: Larry Oetjens!

You can find him at nearly every open mic in the Chicago suburbs. He's always got a great attitude and plays a mix of covers and originals. In fact, he's just released his first 5 song EP!! Go check it out at the link below.
