TONIGHT: Training Grounds Open Mic Returns to Morrisville

It’s great to have regular events in Lamoille County these days. Long considered a backwater, it’s a beautiful corner of Vermont and lately, Morrisville has been one of the fastest growing towns in the state. That momentum is driving a real nightlife scene, and Big Homie Wes has been taking advantage of that opportunity, every step of the way.

The first Training Grounds Open Mic was a big success, and he’s obviously looking to go even bigger this time with Konflik and Nastee headlining the event. The goal is exactly as the name implies: this is a chance for new artists to hone their game in a supportive but competitive environment.

From the management: “To perform bring your instrumentals loaded up on a USB flash drive or choose from the DJ’s selection of beats and sign up at the venue at the time of the event. Spoken word and acapella performances are welcomed, there will be cyphers to open and close the night.”

This awesome event, thanks to generous sponsors, remains free. So be there. The future of the 802 scene is getting shaped by nights like this.
