RE: Historic Ritz Theatre selects September & October Open Mic Monday Winners

  Toccoa, GA – The first two competitions for Open Mic Monday are in the books with Asher Laterno winning our September contest and Jim Harper taking home the prize this month.

Laterno, a student at Toccoa Falls College performed The Script’s “Break Even” and “Need the Sun to Break,” by James Bay for the Pop/Rock competition.  Harper, a Texas native, wowed the crowd and the judges with his two original songs, “I’m Not Worried” and “Down a Country Road” to clinch the win in the Singer/Songwriter category.  Our next competition is Monday, November 15th  at 7pm and will feature Country Music.  Interested performers can sign up by email at tmayhugh@cityoftoccoa.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 2022 Ida Cox Music Festival and one hour free studio time at Diamond Studios. Open Mic Monday is a free event to the contestants and to the public.
