OPEN MICS

2

I’m always on the hunt for open mics. When I’m

not gigging I still love to meet and hear other

musicians and songwriters. So I search in the

almighty Google and I find this place “The Fez”. I

know I’ve stumble upon it before but I never got

over there. So I made it one of the stops on my

list. A quaint Moroccan restaurant nestled on

what else but Summer Street, Stamford CT! I

love the décor, with the old piano in the window,

the drapes, hung disco balls, strand lights, a

stage with your image mirrored behind you, the

bar that adorns flyers and post cards from other

musical acts and the very friendly pretty bar ten-

der! I was number 5 on the list and with every-

one playing 3 songs; it seemed I was going to be

there a while. However by the time I got a drink

and snack of Hummus with great salsa and

crackers, and settled into my seat, it was al-

ready my turn. There is a house band fronted by

Anthony Quinn and I decided to use Marty the

drummer (who is so chill) on my second and

third tune. My daughter Lily came along and she

even sang a number from “Annie”. It was her

first late night open mic! For 8 years old, that’s

not too bad. The crowd at the fez is very recep-

tive and never an unsupportive listening ear.

Anything goes really, from tracks and rapping, to

singing and one man bands. So if you need a

spot that’s got a vibe that makes you want to

burn some incense, check out “The Fez”. I will

be performing there August 14th at 7pm.

Song Writing Tips

ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT PEOPLE ARE

SAYING, EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO EASE DROP. YOU

MAY JUST HEAR A SONG TITLE!!

We each experience life but see it through a different lens. Talk about your story the way you see it.

Someone

once told me

“You will al-

ways have an

audience.”

There are 7

billion people

in the world?!

Make one

listen!

Write when you are exercising, sitting in silence, driving your car.

Write in your mind even if it’s not a song. Words are our great-

est ally. There’s an app for that.

We all need music to survive. How else would we be

able to deal with life’s screw ups? Music heals. Be

a healer.

Michelle DeAngelis is currently looking to start her own band
