OPEN MIC

For over eight years, Ben  faithfully hosted Open Mic Night every Tuesday at Emerson Resort & Spa  in Mt. Tremper, N.Y. An idea brainstormed by Josh Luborsky, he offered the opportunity to Ben, and the rest is history.  Ben’s Acoustic Open Mic was  diverse, with everything from poets to banjo pickers, and offered an opportunity for musicians of all ages, genres and talent levels to perform publicly.  Audience and musicians alike were treated to a night of good food and music, and there was never a cover charge.

Though recent events and social distancing requirements have changed the setting, Ben still hosts an Open Mic Night Social Hour on Zoom.  For more information, email Rebecca@CatskillMedia.com
