Welcome Back Mr. Piper!

We’ve named Witherbee’s Carriage House Open Mic night as the hottest music happening the in the ADKs. And week after week – new and old fans  -- are realizing how true it is.

Tonight marked the return of Mr. “Open Mic” himself:  Mark Piper.

Mark runs the show, and has the uncanny ability of scheduling the acts just in the right order. And he’s become a role model to new and emerging musicians like Dyl Runewicz

And after a well deserved break – for both the staff of Witherbee’s and Mark – the vocals, amps, chords and strings were jamming in harmony tonight  -- including two of our favorites, Linda and Tom of Hot Pursuit.

Were you there tonight? Share your experience with is in comments.
