Open Mic Night at the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater in Peachtree City is scheduled for Saturday, May 9. “We are looking for bands, vocalists, even comedians” says Nancy Price, Manager of The Fred. “This is basically a showcase of talent and all of the participants will get the chance to perform in front of a live audience that night with professional sound and lighting.”
