Did you think Open Mic Night was a hit or miss?

This past Monday, Rock with Squeeze hosted the first Open Mic Hour for upcoming artists to come and showcase their talents.After reviewing dozens of submissions,ten performers were given the opportunity to perform one track in front of a full SOB's crowd.

Some were excellent, with one of the highlights being Keisha Martin's powerful performance of her original song "Reflections of a Woman," accompanied by the acoustic sounds of Kyeni. The pair delivered a great performance, with Keisha's powerful voice sending the crowd into an uproar.

On the other hand, not all of the acts rose to the occassion, with some folding under the pressure of performing live in front of an audience, giving comedian Freddie Ricks plenty of material to joke about.


Tribe of Djemebe made two stage appearances, bringing along a few special guests as well. The crowd seemed to be vibe with the Afro-reggae sounds of the band during their first set, but not so much during the second, when the band started performing cover tracks.

But once Cezar hit the stage there were no complaints to be heard, especially from the ladies in the crowd. Not only is the singing sensation handsome, he had a beautiful voice to match his good looks.

But the end of the performances only meant that the party was just getting started. DJs Kevin Crown and Paul Michael kept the crowd going til the wee hours in the morning.
