One of the popular attractions at the Classic Country Music Reunion is the Open Mic Stage in the Watering Corral Tent.

Each day, starting Thursday evening, the stage will be open for anyone attending the CCMR to sign up and sing a Classic Country song or two with the band. Since it's inception in 1992 this event has always been proud of it's "Reunion" aspect. For that reason you never know who might take their turn at the centre mic, or who might be found taking their turn sitting in as part of the backup band.

What a thrill it has been for some of our first-time singers to turn around and suddenly find that they are being backed up by some of Canada's most respected and legendary Country musicians. Yes, people like Steve Smith, Steve Piticco, Mickey McGivern, Andy Schick, Kurk Bernard, Jay Riehl, Bill Johnson, Stu Peters, Paul Evans, Claude Petrie, Lorne Hachey, Gary Hopper, Tim Sanders, Frank Woodcock, and hundreds of others over the years have been known to slip on stage and play along with our dedicated regulars.

That's just one of the things that makes the CCMR "special".... everyone from all walks of Classic Country Music playing and enjoying the music together on the Open Mic stage.
