December is a busy month, so if you live anywhere near Montague MA now is the time to put December 9 on your calendar. I've gone to several of these open mics and have never heard anything but high-quality music. This time I'll be doing a 40-minute set of my songs. Hope to see you there!
The Open Mic welcomes and appreciates both emerging musicians and seasoned performers. All types of performers are encouraged to participate musicians, poets, singers, dancers, storytellers. Come hear great music and other performances in a comfortable setting. Performers should sign in before 6:30PM. Time slots will be determined at random. Come prepared to perform for 10-15 minutes, depending on turnout.
Fall 2023 Tour of Denmark and Northern Germany!
Paul kaplan & rod sinclair – October 2023
This Fall I will be performing in Denmark and northern Germany with my old pal Rod Sinclair. Rod, from Fife, Scotland, has sung his songs and played guitar and 5-string banjo all over the world. He contributed to every Tønder Festival, from 1985-1990 as artistic director. With some of Denmark's leading young musicians, Rod provided original music and songs for the Royal Inauguration of Denmark's biggest national park, the Wadden Sea. He’s toured Denmark with Dick Gaughan, fiddle player Brian McNeill and with Danish guitar virtuoso Christian Alvad and now will be joined by New England's own Paul Kaplan! And, just in case you'll be in Europe this Fall, here are the Tour dates:
