July update!!
Hey, toastandjammers!
Sorry it's been a while - we've been so busy with Toast & Jam in the real-busy-summer-world that we haven't been online as much as we should be!
The past few weeks have been interesting, as the unusual heat here in Northern Michigan is keeping half of the people at home, and the other half running to Toast for a hint of air conditioning and an iced latte. Toast & Jam has been a constant, though, as each Sunday we're continuing to bring you some pretty darned cool and eclectic entertainment! For those of you unfamiliar with our little show, it's Sunday nights 6 to 8 pm - and we welcome not only music (although we get a lot of that, and most of it is quite good!), but poetry, storytellers, and whatever else you guys can think up...
If you aren't quite ready for the stage, of course you can still join us, grab an iced drink or a granita or some dinner, and cheer on your pals while they perform...
Here are a few shots from the last few open mics (and a special thanks to Ryan, who manned the show for us on Blissfest weekend!)...
Jon Moody, doing one of his own self-penned songs...
Our favorite T&J regular and sometime host Ryan...
The evasive Maari, who we finally got to sing us a few pretty songs...
Aaron Hardy, back in action in spite of his still-healing broken hand...
Newbie Christopher, who is helping to bring poetry back to T&J...
And yet another new performer adding a little variety to the mix...
We'll see you all at the next Toast & Jam!!
