ALDERSON W.Va. (Hinton News) – Alderson Main Street’s “Open Mic at the Depot” ended its third season on Saturday, Oct. 5, with an eclectic mix of artists and songs, following the Fall Festival on the Bridge.
Event organizer, Marcia Sutherland, started the evening by thanking the faithful musicians and audience members who have been attending all summer and welcomed several new people. The musicians played three songs each, then had a “lightning round” of one song each before Marcia and her husband Don closed out the season.
This event, on the first Saturday evening of each month throughout the warm season, brings live music to Alderson and provides an opportunity for musicians to gather and play. Welcoming everyone from amateurs to experienced musicians, the hosts create a family friendly and welcoming environment in the old train station.
Alderson Mayor Travis Copenhaver said, “We really appreciate the work that has gone into this by Marcia and Don. Their efforts have created another use for our Historic 1896 C&O Depot and entertainment for those who choose to come. Thank you.”
