We're Trisha and Phil Knudsen and we have been performing in the local open mike and folk community for many years. Trisha is a poet that is able to communicate her worldview and observations of life, love and everyday events in a thoughtful and beautiful way. Phil has been playing guitar and singing for over 30 years. Several years ago they decided to join their talents and now combine harmony, poetry, original compositions and covers of familiar songs to provide an evening that lets you sit back, relax and forget the outside world for a while.

Open Mikes - Our Philosophy
April 2007

We are now into our fourth month of hosting the TCAN open mike. We felt the time was right to tell you something about our philosophy of the open mike- here at TCAN and in general.

Trisha and I are thankful for a great year hosting the Harvest Cafe Open Mike. We've had a blast! Karen Freker is the kind of advocate that local live music needs - she gets it - and we're happy to do our part to support this great venue.

And a special thanks to Steve Beckwith and Patrick McCarthy who have graciously filled in as hosts from time to time. We really appreciate it!!

We're taking the last two weeks of the year off and we'll be back on January 4th. If you haven't been out to the mike for a while - come on back - we'd love to see you and hear you.
