Attention songwriters and musicians, a new open mic is town. We have been facilitating a Tuesday WEEKLY open mic and workshop, every TUESDAY for artists to hone and share their amazingness and receive feedback for over 3 years now!
If you wish to share an original of yours, awesome. If you want to play a cover, great. You may want to just share an idea with a band to see what it sounds like. That's great.

In the spirit of collaboration and appreciation for musical brilliance, we bring you our monthly concert series — pairing tunes from legendary masters of rock, along with some unsung heroes following in their footsteps. Settle in for an intimate vibe akin to MTV Unplugged, Storytellers and Behind the Music, as singer/guitarist Kevin Spyker performs timeless hits and hidden gems, accompanied by an array of instrumentalists from the Belmar Arts music collective.
Reserve your seats for our series launch on May 18th — highlighting the music of rock icon Tom Petty, with an opening set honoring the up-and-coming band known as Dawes...each month we will tribute two different bands.
Between songs we’ll share some history and fun facts about our featured songsters.
We’re honored to name our tribute series after the memorable Dawes song / album “All Your Favorite Bands” with the anthemic refrain:
“I hope that life without a chaperone is what you thought it'd be,
I hope your brother's El Camino runs forever,
I hope the world sees the same person that you've always been to me,
And may all your favorite bands stay together!”
Trio of fingerstyle guitar and vocals, violin, mandolin and/or 2nd guitar and a box drummer.
Daniel Keiser gathered the most experienced and creative musicians he could find to create a unique contemporary folk band, infused with artistic rock and blues flavors.
Susan Salmon gives the band an original and skillful sound with her violin and mandolin, while also at times delivering a subtle rock edge on her Stratocaster.
Tony Pasqua supplies the unique bluesy feel on the piano, and the expert percussion of Bob Naumchik really rounds out the band’s innovative sound.
Combining Daniel’s many years of study in classical, bluegrass, and rock styles with other impressive and talented artists has created a distinctive, melodic sound that is worth checking out.
The Daniel Keiser band was recently selected to open for 14 time Grammy winner Dan Tyminski from the Alison Krauss Band at Stockton university and is a regular at The Lizzie Rose Music
