 Life is good all this month at Appalachian Wireless. Get the LG G5 for just one penny with sign up or renewal of a two-year service agreement. That's almost $100 off the regular price. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Our region is enriched with musical talent. One could go as far as to say there's more talent here per capita than anywhere else in the world. So much talent requires a large stage and Mountain Music Exchange has been providing that stage by hosting an open mic night event. The event quickly outgrew its original venue and is now being held at the East Kentucky Expo Center. It's the first one this year, it's grown and grown. More and more people are signing up, it's just a big part of the community. We give people a chance to use their talent to get out and play and there's a lot of talent hidden in these hills and we're working hard to just give them a place to play, give them a venue to do what they do and just watch how it grows from there. The artists that open mic night are appreciative of the venue that Mountain Music Exchange provides. Just having an outlet to be able to actually, you know, premiere and show things that you've written in front of other musicians is such an incredible experience as a song rider. You know, growing up I do so many people who are great song riders and great musicians but we didn't necessarily always have a stage to get on and actually, you know, get feedback from other musicians and, you know, figure out how to make ourselves better and this is just a great opportunity for any young up and coming musician and I think it's incredible to have the opportunity to do that here in the mountains.
