NORWICH – Regardless of what you call it, an open mic or a first-of-its-kind all-star jam, area music fans are in for a treat as Beadle’s Lounge, 15 Lackawanna Ave., prepares to host a gathering of some of Chenango County’s most talented musicians, kicking things off at 9 p.m. Friday.

According to Beadle’s Lounge owners Gary and Merrie Beadle, it’s an idea that has been in the works for quite awhile now, and both are excited to see the end result.

Said Gary Beadle, “It’s a chance for everybody to get together, have a good time and play some music.”
