Cameron Perks (Last Saturday of the month, 7:00pm–9:30pm)

Whether you're a musician or a listener or both, if you haven't visited this great venue, you're in for a real treat. They have a large, inviting sitting room with lots of comfy sofas, armchairs, and tables...and because it's a separate room from the coffee grinders, milk steamers, and refrigerators, there's nothing to get in the way of an evening of great music! Right now, they are hosting a monthly open mic as well as booking performances for Saturday evenings and some Fridays and Sundays as well.

Alexandria-based singer/songwriter Mark Austin will be hosting a SAW-sponsored open mic. Great sound and a great listening room are guaranteed (a uality PA with 2 mics and 2 instrument channels). Sign-up begins at 6:45 for 15 minute slots. For questions, or to reserve a time slot for an upcoming open mic, contact Mark Austin at mark@markaustinguitar.com
