Open Mic
The Brooksville Open Mic is hosted by Tinder Hearth on Sundays from 5-8 pm in the Barn, during the summer months.
The Summer Open Mic has arrived!
This summer we will be hosting Open Mics the first and third Sunday of each month. Check the calender page for exact dates.
We hope to see you there!
Have you ever noticed the musical sounds that float through the West Brooksville fields and forests on warm Sunday evenings? Or the cars lined up along the road and meadows, gathered around the shabby barn at the Tinder Hearth on Coastal Road between David’s Folly and the school? It’s the weekly Brooksville Open Mic, open to anyone looking for a friendly audience, a place to visit with friends, or a good meal of soup and crusty bread. Tinder Hearth hosts the free, open-to-the-public Open Mic every Sunday from 5-8 PM during the warmer months.
The group considers the well-being of the community to be directly linked to the vibrancy of its arts and public gathering spaces, and wishes to support the growth of arts in the everyday life of the community. In 2005, Lake Larsson provided the impetus for the Open Mic and has watched her “baby” grow in size, variety, and vivacity every year. In 2008 the Open Mic grew quickly from “one-pot-of-soup” nights to “three-pot-of-soup” nights with a full house during the peak summer months. Every week you could find children running and laughing in the back yard, surprising talents emerging from the neighbors you never knew wrote poetry or songs, and people of all ages from Hancock Country talking and enjoying baked treats from the Tinder Hearth oven.
