Daniel Mack of Martin, GA and Clint Coker of Habersham County have won the October round of the Open Mic Monday competition that took place this past Monday night, October 16th at the Historic Ritz Theatre.
The three-judge panel consisted of veteran
Atlanta radio personality Kelly McCoy, Ritz Theatre General Manager Keith
Kozicki, and Toccoa musician David Shabat.
Mack and Coker were the unanimous first place choice of the judges. The
performances included a variety of live music, poetry and even stand-up comedy.
“It was another strong showing by our
local area talent. We expect the next two Open Mic Monday events in November
and December to continue showcasing some really outstanding performers.” according
to Open Mic Monday emcee McCoy.
The next competition is Monday, November
20th at 7 PM. Open Mic Monday is held
every third Monday of the month through December and is a free event. Interested performers can sign up by
email at ritztheatretoccoa@gmail.com or at the Historic Ritz Theatre on the
evening of the show on a first-come, first-up basis. Contestants will play 3
songs or perform for 15 minutes, whichever comes first. Winners from each of
the four nights will be invited back for a “Final 4” competition on January 22nd
to determine the ultimate Open Mic Monday winner. The winning performer will
get a paid gig as the opening act for the first Ida Cox music series
performance in June of 2018.
The
remaining dates are 11/20 and 12/18 with the final competition to be held on January
22nd, 2018.
