Chad Rushing will be @ The Side Room

🎶✨ LUDINGTON… WE HEARD YOU. ✨🎶

Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to our weekly Open Mic — and with a deep understanding that West Michigan is home to an incredible amount of musical talent — The Sand Bar is proud to announce something bigger, bolder, and more immersive.

Welcome to…

🌊🎤 OPEN ECHO 🎤🌊
A Special Open Mic Experience
Hosted by Echo 6 7

📅 Saturday, January 17
🕘 9PM – Close
📍 The Sand Bar | Ludington

This isn’t your average open mic.

OPEN ECHO is a curated, collaborative night where singers, songwriters, musicians, and storytellers come together to share the stage, build moments, and let the music echo throughout the room.

Expect:
🎶 Live performances by Echo 6 7 to anchor the night
🎶 A structured sign-up with room for collaboration and improvisation
🎶 Originals, elevated covers, harmonies, sit-ins, and surprise moments
🎶 A listening-room vibe with big energy and bigger creativity

Whether you’re a seasoned performer or someone ready to step into the spotlight, OPEN ECHO is about connection — between artists, between songs, and between the room and the moment.

🎸🎤 CALLING ALL MUSICIANS & CREATIVES 🎤🎸
If you’re interested in performing, collaborating, or being part of the experience, DM me directly for details and sign-up info. Space will be limited to keep the night flowing and special.

This is what happens when a community leans into its creativity.
This is where songs are shared, voices are lifted, and music truly lives.

📍 The Sand Bar – More Than a Bar, Your Neighborhood Hub
🗓️ OPEN ECHO | Saturday, January 17

Let it echo.

Velvet Mushroom Syndicate is rolling into The Mitten for a night of funky jams, good beer, and solid vibes.
If you’re into 70s/80s-style funk, soul, and rock with a little psychedelic twist this one’s for you.

It's our 2nd & 4th MONDAY Night Song Circle...At the Mitten Bar. 6:00-8:15 
Everyone welcome to take turns picking, singing or calling a tune (or passing your turn on to the next person) as we make music together in an old-time tradition of fully acoustic instruments. It's a great no-pressure way to learn, listen, hone skills and have fun together, while being courteous to fellow musicians, our host and their patrons (it's all acoustic so it's up to us to listen to one another and play so everyone in the circle can be heard).
