“The Brightside Tavern, in the Powerhouse Arts District, will test the waters for live outdoor music with a show celebrating the first anniversary of the “Take a Compliment” open mic, on Friday, Sept. 11 at 7 p.m.. The free show will be socially distanced and require masks, and will feature performances by Diana Zinni, the organizer of the open mic, as well as Corey Smithson, Joshua Lay, Adrian Danon, Georgia Water, and AJ Sherman.“ - The show must go on? How Hudson music venues are surviving coronavirus rules, NJ.com Jim Testa https://bit.ly/2Fimqvg
“Generally, everyone kept their social distance. The police showed up briefly to check on things. The sound went out a few times. Some comedians, like Tony Loud, performed in a mask. Some wore gloves. Many joked about getting sick from the microphone. Almost all mentioned that they were rusty as hell, despite getting consistent laughs and even the occasional encore. The lineup consisted of mostly standup. A highlight was musical comedian AJ Sherman teaming up with Steve Posten doing pun-driven alternative comedy.“

Karen Poliski has been playing idiosyncratic country blues and writing original folk songs for over 20 years. She has participated in every Filthy Song Night - a songwriting competition of the lowest, hilarious, subject matter possible- for the last 11 years, hosting at it's Brooklyn venue, The Jalopy Theatre, for the last four years. Karen also produces small music festivals, stage-manages festivals and is flirting with stand up comedy.
