Aspiring singers and songwriters are encouraged to sing their hearts out on February 27 as Pony Espresso Coffee Shop and Café hosts the next in a series of open mic nights. Held in conjunction with the Southern Oregon Songwriters, Open Mic Nights are every 4th Friday from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm in Jacksonville at 545 N. 5th Street.

Event organizers note that their inaugural event in January was such a big hit that it will continue for the foreseeable future. With its coffee drinks, a full food menu and lots of beer and wine offerings, Pony Espresso makes for yet another great venue for locals to enjoy music in a very intimate setting.

This free series is open to the public – songwriters are encouraged to participate and discover a warm and supportive atmosphere regardless of their skill level and experience.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, the next Open Mic Night for Original Songs is February 27 from 6 pm – 8 pm featuring love songs!
