NASSAWADOX, Va. — The long-running “First Wednesday” open mic night at the Shack will mark a milestone, celebrating 22 years of showcasing local talent and building community on Virginia’s Eastern Shore.
The anniversary event will be held Wednesday, Jan. 7, with organizers inviting musicians, poets and stand-up comedians to take the stage for an evening of live performances. Sign-up begins at 5:30 p.m., and participants of all experience levels are welcome.
In keeping with the community spirit that has defined the event for more than two decades, attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item to support Eastern Shore residents in need.
Organizers say the open mic has thrived over the years thanks to its supportive audience and welcoming atmosphere, making it a staple for performers and listeners alike. Food and beverages will be available throughout the evening.
