MICHELLE DEANGELIS KICKS IT OFF WITH HER FIRST OPEN MIC FOR THIS SUMMER AT THE FEZ IN STANFORD,CT HOSTED BY ANTHONY QUINN CARPANZANO

I’m always on the hunt for open mics. When I’m not gigging I still love to meet and hear other musicians and songwriters. So I search in the almighty Google and I find this place “The Fez”. I know I’ve stumble upon it before but I never got over there. So I made it one of the stops on my list. A quaint Moroccan restaurant nestled on what else but Summer Street, Stamford CT! I love the décor, with the old piano in the window, the drapes, hung disco balls, strand lights, a stage with your image mirrored behind you, the bar that adorns flyers and post cards from other musical acts and the very friendly pretty bar tender! I was number 5 on the list and with everyone playing 3 songs; it seemed I was going to be there a while. However by the time I got a drink and snack of Hummus with great salsa and crackers, and settled into my seat, it was already my turn. There is a house band fronted by Anthony Quinn and I decided to use Marty the drummer (who is so chill) on my second and third tune. My daughter Lily came along and she even sang a number from “Annie”. It was her first late night open mic! For 8 years old, that’s not too bad. The crowd at the fez is very receptive and never an unsupportive listening ear. Anything goes really, from tracks and rapping, to singing and one man bands. So if you need a spot that’s got a vibe that makes you want to burn some incense, check out “The Fez”. I will be performing there August 14th at 7pm.

Song Writing Tips
Michelle DeAngelis is currently looking to start her own band
ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING, EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO EASE DROP. YOU MAY JUST HEAR A SONG TITLE!! Always stay true to how you would tell it
Someone once told me “You will always have an audience.” There are 7 billion people in the world?! Make one listen!
We each experience life but see it through a different lens. Talk about your story the way you see it.
Write when you are exercising, sitting in silence, driving your car. Write in your mind even if it’s not a song. Words are our greatest ally. There’s an app for that.
We all need music to survive. How else would we be able to deal with life’s screw ups? Music heals. Be a healer. ALL ARTIST NEED PROMOTION I use Keith Rogers for all of my promotional needs. The man can help you with
