Dick York & the Bitchy Witches Debut at Acoustic Open Mic in Guilford

This past Wednesday, February 25, 2015 marked the fourth anniversary of the Acoustic Open Mic at the Country Tavern. The sign up sheet got filled up rather quickly with several acts I was eager to see. I always love having debut acts, and this week was no disappointment. Dick York & the Bitchy Witches and Darby Hittle joined us for the evening and did NOT disappoint!

Many thanks to Don Briggs of dB AUDIO for working with me on this event every month, and special thanks to the rhythm section of the Sandy Connolly Band (Ted Ervin, Justin Paglino, and Mark Otterson) for showing up and backing so many.

Scroll down for a sample of photos and a video (very difficult to distill three hours of music into seven minutes!).
