The Fox and Goose, an English-style pub, has been a Sacramento music institution for 30 years. The building was erected in 1913, and the open mic is one of the most popular in the area. The Fox and Goose has music five nights of the week, including its open mic on Monday night. It is one of the longest running music open mics in Sacramento. “The building we’re in has an old-factory-brick feel, we’ve been doing it for 30 years now, so there’s a lot of tradition,” said Peter Monson, manager. About 15-to-20 musicians show up to the popular open mic, Monson says. The host of the show is Dave Baldwin, and the system is run on a lottery system – so if you’re showing up to play, expect to be either thrilled or disappointed at the outcome. Musicians get to perform three songs for 15 minutes, and a featured artist closes out the show. What’s unique about the open mic is that the show goes until everybody plays – no matter how late.
