Singer/Songwriter Open Mic
featuring Mercedes Landazuri and Jared Grabb

Mercedes is an accomplished banjoist specializing in traditional
jazz and Brazilian bossa nova. She performs regularly in Chicago
with several groups, including Bossa Saravah, Roommate and
Chicago Samba. With a truely unique sound, Mercedes is a hidden
treasure buried here in Chicago. mercedesland.com <http://mercedesland.com>

Jared Grabb's music is full of contradictions and surprises. As a
solo musician who writes for both guitar and banjo, Jared
captivates audiences with a striking honesty of both words and
song. myspace.com/jaredgrabbsolo <http://myspace.com/jaredgrabbsolo>

Justin Petertil, our monthly host, is a bit of songwriting voyeur.
His music, often performed with Love Raid, constrains a number of
disparate influences into pop forms that belie their own
complexity.
