The Blue Wing Saloon & Café in Upper Lake is becoming the place to be for both good food and good music.

The saloon is announcing Open Mike Evenings every Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Musicians wishing to participate will sign up for a 15-minute slot (your “15 minutes of fame”) at the door with Events Director Teresa Cook.

A small speaker system is provided, but voice and acoustic instruments only are encouraged.

Restaurant patrons are assured of a pleasant, hospitable experience on Thursdays with the usual good food plus good music in the background.

The Blue Wing is already well known in the community for its live music at Sunday Brunch, the blues bands that appear there every Monday night and the Concerts with Conversation Series at the Tallman Hotel next door.

The third annual four-day Blue Wing Blues Festival is now scheduled for this coming Aug. 5-8.

The Blue Wing Saloon & Café is located at 9520 Main St. in Upper Lake, telephone 275-2233. Visit the saloon and cafe online at www.bluewingsaloon.com.
