Witherbee’s Re-Open Night and Open Mic

Witherbee’s Carriage House reopens tonight (Thursday, April 19) after a ten day top to bottom Spring Cleaning.

Tonight also marks the return of the what’s becoming the area’s most happening event in the music scene: Open Mic Night.

The action kicks off at 6.30 pm with Linda Fayte and Tom Brady running the show, while regular maestro Mark Piper takes the night off. 

If you’ve never participated, either as a performer or watching from the peanut gallery, then get your butt over there tonight and have yourself some fun.

With just 18 days left until the beginning of Spring, the snow  -- missing for most of the winter -- continues to fall this Thursday morn. So far, the roads are in good shape, thanks to the Highway Department. The most recent forecast from the National Weather Service predicts accumulations up to 7 inches for the Schroon area. If you know about a cancellation, let us know in comments. If you are not in Schroon, enjoy the snow show after the jump:

Mark Piper: A Man And His Music

We first met Mark Piper just after he and his wife Sharon opened up their Schroon Lake Bed and Breakfast back in 2009.

Little did we know that besides his skills in the kitchen, where he can whip up a killer breakfast, that he was a very talented singer and song writer. If you've seen him play the open mic at Witherbee's on Thursdays, you know what we mean. If you haven't  -- then check him out at his new "other" weekly gig every Saturday afternoon in the Town Park next to the Band Shell through the end of the summer.
