Blondies Pub and Grub, 332 E. MainSt. in Cortez, opens the stage to musicians on Thursdays new Open Mic Night. This free weekly event is hosted by Brett Pejsa, guitarist at large. Live music starts around 7 p.m. with an acoustic set, then the stage opens up for whatever musical mayhem may develop. Its a great place to try something new, get a little brave, or practice up a bit. Brett will set you up and make you sound good and there are always a few extra guitars around. Every Thursday is different because you never know who may stop by or what the musical result will be at this new musical meltingpot of Montezuma County. For more information, call 565-4015.
