Mr. Spot's Chai House

Mr. Spot's Chai House is a great funky little venue with an open mic on every Thursday night. It has a nice mix of spoken word and music. Each performance gets less time than other open mics but you get to see a lot more people that way. They serve coffee, chai, food, beer, and wine. Check em' out www.chaihouse.com

Allecia Clemons and the Sexy Numbers

Allecia Clemons www.alleciaclemons.com kicked it all off with her edgy and fun spirit. It didn't take long to know that we were in for a fun night at Mr. Spot's. You can also check her out on www.myspace.com/alleciaclemons Also pictured here is the rest of her band "The Sexy Numbers". I think they made up that name for the night. They were really good and added so much to the night. They included www.JoelGamble.com on violin, Nathan Marble on upright bass, and Betsy Tinney on cello.

Stephen Smartt and Nathan Marble

Stephen has a huge heart, is a great soul, and I'm blessed to have met him. It all shows when he performs. He's really not out to promote himself or his music so it's rare treat to get to hear him play. He was backed up by Nathan on the bass, who by the way, I'm a little jealous of... he's been substitute teaching for music classes around Seattle. It just seems like that would be so much fun. So don't get me wrong.. jealous in a good way.

Chris Wakefield

I believe Chris was going to rock some piano for us but there is no longer a house piano so... he rocked the mic with some poetry instead.
