One of the best things about open mics is the surprises you get to hear—songs and artists you might not experience when visiting other local venues. One of the big surprises of the night was hearing Jimmy Lee Workman, who doesn’t often play out at local venues, perform “Broken,” an original song he wrote, live at our Open Mic at Damascus Old Mill Inn. Moments like this are exactly why open mics matter—raw talent, original music, and unforgettable performances. 🎶 | Appalachian Artists Live
