Why:  A year ago Cabaret Project Poobah Tim Schall, pianist and music director Carol Schmidt and I decided that the Tavern of Fine Arts was the ideal place for a regular open mic night that would give local singers a chance to try out new material or polish existing songs.  We hoped it would offer cabaret veterans a chance to expand their range of material as well as bring give new singers a chance to get some experience in front of an audience in a welcoming environment.  One year later it has all exceeded our wildest expectations.  Join us, along our special guest, MAC Award-winning singer Michelle Collier (who brings her show A Tribute to the Hollywood Blondes to the Bistro on Thursday), for an evening of fun, songs, surprises, and free birthday cake.

And, yes, I will probably do some Tom Leher songs.
