RE: Historic Ritz Theatre selects November Open Mic
Monday Winner
Toccoa, GA – Nine talented singer/songwriters competed
for the top prize at this month’s Open Mic Monday held on November 18th at the Historic Ritz Theatre, but it
was James Hutton of Lincolnton, GA who walked away the winner.
Hutton, a senior at Toccoa Falls College
sang and played piano on his two original songs, “Dust” and “The Little King.” The
night’s contestants represented not only the Georgia cities of Toccoa,
Commerce, Clayton, and Lincolnton, but Westminster, SC as well. Our performers
ranged in age from 21 to 68 years old and included Ray Phillips, Darryl Lesh,
Stephen Montgomery-Anderson, Janis McClain, Nathan Collins, Ken Helmer, Jim
Harper, and Becca Norris.
The last monthly competition is Monday, December
16th at 7pm and will be a Battle of the Bands. 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 starting at 6pm.
Winners
from each of the monthly competitions will receive $50 and a paid gig at the
summer 2020 Ida Cox Music Festival. Open Mic Monday is a free event to the
contestants and to the public.
