Every Wednesday night for the last several months the Third Rail Bar and Grill in Big Lake has been holding an open mic night from 7 to 9:30pm.

 

There are a number of local musicians who come to perform, try out material, listen, support and usually participate in a few end of the night jam sessions.

 

This is a growing event and you never know who will show up to perform on any given Wednesday night. If you want to perform just show up and sign up, simple as that.

 

Jordan Maier is the host for open mike night and who even performs himself. Guests performed at the Third Rails open mic night were: Conner, John and Sister Ellory Hollingsworth. 

 

Conner plays the Cajon, John and Ellory both enjoys singing. Together they performed "Californication" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Rooster" by Alice in Chains and many more popular songs.

 

Daisy Kent preformed for her first time Wednesday and the audience went wild after they heard her beautiful voice.

 

Mari Liestman from Becker has been playing the violin for 17 years and loves to show off her skills for the crowd. Mari and Jacob Liestman have been, playing at the Third Rails open mic night since they started holding it a couple months ago.
