Your Sound Man

Dave Rainey: Also know as Mr Ashville, the maestro of the sound board and the man with a quick quip. Dave is a well respected musician in his own right. With his two daughters Jen and Megan the trio are called The Rainey's, Dave is not known to be original.
He is also know for his long time involvement with the jazz group Sweet Sixteen. Dave's little fingers across the sound board will bring delight to your ears. (OK so I exaggerate).

Your Stage Manager

Dick Plunk: A singer song writer who is always there to lend a hand at the end of the evening to get the sound equipment away. Dick is the reason for the quote on the Ashville Open Mic Tee Shirt. "If you have not been to Ashville Open Mic you do not know Dick."

Your Video Producer

Tom the Ukulele Man: Tom is on hand most weeks to record your performance if you desire and to insert it on YouTube. go to YouTube and insert EnglishmanJohn (all one word) in the search box and the video's will come up. Tom is a well known singer song writer who performs solo, as a duo with Ty and with His Prodigal Sons.

Our Sponsor

Tim: The Manager and Owner Papa Joe's. He turns over the top room at Papa Joe's just for us on Thursday nights and is full of encouragement.

Cody: Our very own server. Polite and shy and very efficient is Cody. She works hard to make sure we are all served on time. We have to get her up to sing one of these nights
