Tosco House Party @ the Evening Muse

John Tosco

As most folks in Charlotte know the first Wednesday of each month John Tosco holds an open mic night at the Evening Muse - it's call the Tosco House Party. There's a long story that goes back some 20 years of musicians gathering to share their music in a "living room" atmosphere. That tradition lives on at the Evening Muse in addition to the Tosco Music Party where the "living room" grows to a 1,200 seat theatre three times a year.

I really enjoy attending these House parties as they provide a glimpse into the development of numerous talented singer-songwriters. Many of these people were in High School when they started sharing their talents at the Tosco House Party.
