Many, many thanks to The Fred and Nancy Price for hosting the Open Mic night. There were some amazing musicians and vocalists that came out to perform, many of whom left us very humbled, and it appeared as though everyone in attendance had a great time.

The live music scene is alive and well in Fayette County and congratulations to the Fred for having the foresight to provide local bands with the opportunity to play on a stage typically reserved for big name, seasoned veterans.

The Remedy Band is greatly looking forward to returning to the Fred as the winner of the night's event and would like to say thanks again to all our family and friends who came out to support us. In addition, kudos to all the other fans of all the other bands who came out to support their favorite acts...it was a great thing to behold.
