The Whitehall Ledger - Serving Southern Jefferson County in the Great State of Montana

Gena Nellis remembers when Whitehall had what she called a great local music scene. With the hopes of seeing this once again in the future, Nellis and several other local residents have started a weekly open mic night at Legends Bar and Grill located at 13 West Legion in downtown Whitehall.

Elvin Bishiop and Eric Bartline perform at an open mic night last week at Legends Bar and Grill in downtown Whitehall.

Nellis said there are a lot of very good musicians in the area, and encouraged them to come to the event that starts every Thursday at 8 p.m.

Last week was the fourth open mic night, and while Nellis said the turnout has been relatively quiet to start, there have been more people who show up every week.

So far, Nellis said there have been a lot of acoustic performances, but they have a full soundboard and local musicians can also play electric instruments.

The next open mic is scheduled for Thursday, April 13.
