Most of the open mic's that I've been to have been pretty eclectic. At the one that I currently host we have a woman who comes in each week and plays Buddy Holly tunes on a pennywhistle. A couple of months ago we had a guy who played "Blue Monk" on an accordian. We have a fellow who comes in, from time to time, who just brings a pair of drumsticks. he lines up chairs, tables, music stands, and anything else he can find and creates rhythm for fifteen minutes. If an open mic is working properly all styles of music are welcome.
