Yes, this past Essanay Cafe Open Mic was more than an open mic event with Sarah, one of our local regulars, celebrating an alcohol-free (yes, really) 21st birthday. Even more well-attended than usual, the wine bar theatre space was abuzz right up to the last minute of the evening’s proceedings. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the unique and enjoyable talents of Alex Sheh, who, having recently stopped by my Bay Street Open Mic event, popped in again to treat us with his retro jazz crooner stylings as a teaser for his Mission Coffees show.

As usual, the night was rife with talent. Wifey even made it out, playing her first solo performance to the delight of those assembled. Nice! You know what else is nice? Photos! Here, taste these:
