A new open mic night

Barnes & Noble in Valencia hosted the first ever open mic night called Expression Sessions.

The event will be presented on the second Saturday of each month from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

“Who wants to go 100 miles for an open mic,” said organizer and host Michael Johnston. “I go to open mics around the cities and why doesn’t Santa Clarita have one.”

Musicians, artists, and poets of all ages were able to come up to perform only original material despite having experience or no experience.

A good night of fun and entertainment free of charge and open to the public.
