Mostly folk singer song writer guitarists play but there have been bongos, a didjeridu, an ukulele, a banjo, a tiny piano, a violin, a kazoo, and an accordion as well.

• Duke's Sports Bar & Grill - Starting at 10pm, the event is MCed by Nate Mezmer. Hip hop free styling is emphasized but vocals, acoustic, and comedy is also welcome. The bar also has several drink specials. Duke's has gone out of business.

  The last Monday of the month is a tribute open mic. The first tribute was held in February with Neil Diamond as the chosen artist. March's artist is David Bowie. Also, people are not allowed to play two weeks in a row at this open mic.
