Starting this week, Canyon County has a new way to give budding musicians a stage to try out their stuff, and get some love. On Tuesday evenings from 7-9pm, come out to Mesquite Creek Outfitters (@mesquitecreekidaho) in downtown Caldwell, for an open mic hosted by Nathan Board (@nathan.board.90).

In addition to getting a stage, it’s also an opportunity to network with other local musicians, which is key to helping you get established. Then, non-musicians like me, get to hear up-and-coming musicians with the possible opportunity to watch them grow.

In the video clip, Nathan and friends do some Merle Haggard.
