It’s time again for the twice-per-year Open Mic Shootout at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur. More than 20 performers, one song, head-to-head competition, single-round eliminations.
They’re competing for $1,000, but perhaps moreso, the mojo. Eddie’s Attic has helped to launch a lot of music careers, but past winners of this competition include Jennifer Nettles, John Mayer, Clay Cook and Shawn Mullins.
I’ll be among the judges this year, so make sure to come say hi.
Here’s a list of most of the performers:
