Patterson says that he’s hoping for musicians to cross-pollinate different styles and genres into something new and unheard in the area, revitalizing the area music scene and giving locals something to look forward to from week to week.

SMOKING MOOSE EVERY WEDNESDAY 9 PM “Just because someone isn’t played on the radio or managed by some big record label doesn’t mean they don’t have what it takes 42 to impress you,” said Patterson. The Smoking Moose’s open mic night is every Wednesday from 9 p.m., featuring a new guest host each week and drink specials throughout. Call The Smoking Moose at 256-741-9300 for more information. ✤ October 2014 INSIGHT
