Eastport Arts Center’s next Open Mic will be held Friday, May 26 from 6-8 pm. The event, which has run monthly since January, has grown steadily, and each evening is a lively mix of 10-minute music and spoken word acts, with always some surprises. An array of snacks and hot beverages are provided in a casual coffeehouse-style atmosphere. Those interested in performing may sign up at the event for a 10-minute slot. A limited number of slots will be available for those who’d prefer to sign up in advance. Please send any questions about your act or inquiries about signing up by email to info@eastportartscenter.org. Admission and refreshments are free; donations will be gratefully accepted.

The May event has been made possible by Captain’s Quarters, an elegant downtown Eastport accommodation hosted by Jim Riccio via AirBnb. “Super host” Riccio’s listing boasts 78 5-star reviews, which make mention of his beautifully furnished and decorated home, warm demeanor, luxury linens, artwork collection and the peaceful nights guests enjoyed in the private room with en suite bath.
