THE HOTEL UTAH WEEKLY OPEN MIC
with host Brendan Getzell
http://theutah.org



The Hotel Utah open mic is the epicenter of San Francisco's singer-songwriter community. Its stage attracts performers at all stages of their careers: from seasoned veterans to first-timers. It attracts music fans who know a good thing when they see it.
The musicians who come regularly don't come just to get a little "stage time" - they come because of the community that calls Monday at The Utah home - and the musicians that come in for the first time eventually start to come regularly...

So come on down this monday, have a beer, bring your guitar if that's your thing, and sit back and enjoy.

Hotel Utah Open Mic this Monday! Feature: Molly Gazay (SOMA / south beach)

How goes it! Hope you're as good as I am right now, considering that the Hotel Utah open mic is mere hours away! Monday night, 4th & Bryant, signup 7:30, show 8. As the dentist said to his most frequent patient, 'you know the drill'.

Okay that was a lame pun, but don't worry... actually never mind, I love lame puns.

Our feature this week is MOLLY GAZAY, and I can't express enough how excited I am about that! Molly is a talented actress of both stage and screen, but in the past year she's turned her focus towards being a singer-songwriter, and damned if we aren't all the better for it. Her voice is a head-turner, in the sense that no matter where you are, if you hear it your reflexive response is to turn your head and go, "whoa, who is that?" Her near-operatic compositions plumb the depths of love, loss, struggle, and ultimately triumph in spite of the odds... yet even with the epic nature of her works, they often contain hooks of ear-worm proportions. Don't believe me? Have a listen at: http://theutah.org/artist/mollygazay

Oh! One last reminder: The SF Bay Guardian is conducting their annual Best Of The Bay reader poll, and I would be honored* if you would vote for Hotel Utah in the category of "Best Open Mic"! Go here: http://www.sfbg.com/best2011 ("Best Open Mic" is on page 2 of the poll)

*That's the formal way of saying "tickled pink", which always sounds awkward to me.

That's what I got. Shazam!
