MORRIS - An exciting new musical concept will take place at the Mt. Morris Moose Family Center on the third Friday of each month. Produced by Jerry Tice of the well-known Mountain Grass Band and co-hosted by star performer Ruth Ann Lillstrom, the Songwriters Open Mic will showcase original musical or lyrical compositions performed by the creating artist. No covers, no accompanist and all material must be family friendly.

Each performer will be allowed two songs lasting no more than 10 minutes. Sound will be provided but no complicated set-ups or processors. Each event will run from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Performer check-in will begin at 6:30 p.m. and performance order will be drawn at 6:50 p.m.

Scheduled dates for the 2018 season are April 20, May 18, June 15, July 20, Aug. 17, Sept. 21, Oct. 19, Nov. 16, and a 2019 Christmas finale on Dec. 21. The Mt. Morris Moose Family Center has an extensive menu of food and beverage, which will be available to purchase.
