We recently held the first in a series of Open Mic nights at Titty Tea in Jhubei. I was one of the hosts for the event. Let us take you through the highlights of the evening:
The event was held upstairs in this beautiful room.
Mimi started the show off with a reading of Shakespeare. Her English is really great and she did a very nice reading for us.
Next, our co-host of the evening, Van Stokes, played some country songs. The audience loved them! Hearing those kinds of songs in Taiwan is a rare treat! Van will be playing more country songs next weekend!
Our good friend Michael Turton told some jokes in Chinese. He had the audience roaring with laughter!
This is Allie, singing a local favorite. She was quite good.
Van and I played a few songs together, in-between the other performers.
This is Joe, who decided to play a few tunes for us, without any preparation! Later his brother joined him, singing a song while reading the lyrics off his iphone! They said they will be back next week with some songs prepared. We can’t wait!
Towards the end of the night, Shawn (the owner of Titty Tea) and Van did a cool ditty that everyone enjoyed.
Pauline came in at the end of the night and played several tunes of her own composition. She sounded great, and she said she’ll be back again, so we’re looking forward to that!
Titty Tea is hosting Open Mic Night, every Saturday in the month of June. You’re all invited to join us and you’re also invited to perform!
