Do you play an instrument, think you’re funny or want to share your poetry with the campus community? Thanks to Student Life, you might just get that opportunity ever Wednesday at around 8 p.m.

Student Life hosted the first DU Unplugged Open-Mic Night last Wednesday, in Sidelines Pub and gave a number of DU musicians the opportunity to play for an audience.

Student Life offered $10 coupons for the pub at the door as incentive for students to come in and listen. The strategy packed the pub and overwhelmed the kitchen staff with orders.

While open-mic night was billed as an opportunity for musicians to play, comedians to try their hand at stand-up, and poets to read their work, the only takers were musicians.

Performers included singer/songwriter RJ Wall, who played a mixed set of original songs and covers, and local band Guys with Wood, who played a number of original pieces.

Most of those in attendance were eager to cheer on the performers. Their friends clapped and whistled loudly after each segment of the performance.

Overall, students’ reaction was positive.

“I think it’s great,” said Bekah Shope, sophomore, who was there to cheer on her friend. “It’s really cool that DU is providing this opportunity for unknown artists to play their stuff and get their name out there. I love it.”

“The feedback is gnarly, but it’s still all right,” said Abbas Jaffer, senior, who was there for dinner. “There needs to be more performers though.”

The event started at 8 p.m. and lasted until 9:30 p.m.

Student Life said that this will be a weekly event and implored all those still in attendance to come again next Wednesday and to bring their friends.
