Southern Utah: Open Mic Night at The Grind

Steven Swift, Cedar City musician, performs during Open Mic Night at The Grind Coffee House.For eight years, Open Mic Night has taken place at Groovacious, a Cedar City record store; one week ago, Open Mic Night was moved to The Grind Coffee House. The new ownership at the coffee shop has already shown a great willingness to support music in Cedar City, which is a breath of fresh air.

Open Mic Night takes place at The Grind Coffee House and starts at 8 p.m.. Those interested in performing should arrive at 7:30 p.m. such that scheduling can take place effectively with the newly revised night. Entry is free, but visitors are encouraged to purchase product from the coffee house –I opt for the coffee. Go figure.

The Moroccan Mint green tea is nice, too — both iced and hot. Using a good blend is essential, and I’ve never really been served a bad cup at The Grind, though do be sure to ask for another cup to place your tea bag in, or just be sure to throw it away. Leaving the leaves steeping in the water for too long can leave you with a bitter taste.

Jordan Olsen, guitarist and vocalist, and John Chatelain, bassist, keyboardist, and vocalist, for the Gorgeous Hussies, performed in the Living Room at SUU. Ryan Smith, drummer for the group, was replaced by a drum machine; the final photo in this series sees Ryan’s discontent at being phased out for a robot. In reality, it was only done to prevent excessive noise on the university campus. Ryan will be performing at The Grind with the band.
