Banjo player Tim Laurence is a frequent presence at First Fridays. He provides instrumental accompaniment to many other performers and was awarded a plaque at the last show, in honor of his contributions.

OREGON – First Fridays Open Mic will present its monthly show Friday, May 2, at the Oregon Veterans of Foreign Wars 8739. This indoor event attracts many talented performers, but musicians and singers of all skill levels find acceptance from its supportive audience.

The show starts at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free, although a jar is available for donations.
