We're Trisha and Phil Knudsen and we have been performing in the local open mike and folk community for several 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.

This Week's Pictures
We had a good crowd and Adam gave a really good feature. He played songs off his old CD - All the Whispering and his newest CD - Another Spin. We had some really fine performances and some new performers. It was a bit sticky at the old firehouse but a really fun night of music. Summer can be a slow and laid back time at the mike but this night was full of new songs and great friends.
We will have a jukebox with recordings from the night on this site sometime in the near future. In the meantime enjoy the pictures or check out Adam's website to hear excerpts from his feature.

What a great time at the Kendall Tavern Inn. We may try it again - we played in the barn and it was warm in Maine!
Open Mikes - Our Philosophy
April 2007
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.
We see the open mike as a community event - not necessarily a performance event. It's a time to hear, and really listen to, other people who share their gifts with us. The performers are at various stages in their musical development. Some may see the open mike as their only musical or spoken word outlet, some may use the open mike to test new
