In April’s installment of the Trespass Music Tracker, we talked about Open Mic’s. I asked the subscribers to write in with feedback on their favorite open mic and the response was amazing. Thank you to everyone who took the time to email in. So…..(drum roll)….As compiled by our readers….(drum roll)… here is the list of the top 5 open mic’s:

1. Eddie’s Attic – Decatur, Ga.

For almost 20 years, every Monday night, this SONGWRITER’S OPEN MIC has been going strong. On any given Monday, you’ll get to hear some touring performing songwriters, some local touring songwriters home from the road, some local songwriters that don’t tour, some up and comers working on their chops, some amateurs that will never tour, and sometimes, someone that you can look back and say I heard them when…but be guaranteed, it’ll be an entertaining evening!
