Cape May Music :: Open Mic Night

We hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. In case your weekend did not include a Sunday night visit, you might enjoy this glimpse of Sunday nights at the Batter.

Odds are if you walked into the Mad Batter Bar at the Carroll Villa Hotel on Jackson Street, on any given Sunday night, youโ€™d think; โ€œWhat is going on in here!?!โ€ Thatโ€™s a questions even the locals proclaim almost every Sunday night as well. Ask a local (you’ll be sitting next to one) if itโ€™s always like this, and youโ€™re likely to get a response: yep been like this all winter.

The Mad Batter Sunday nights, hosted by our friend,ย M. Q. Murphy have become a mecca for Cape May musicians. Cape May for that matter has been incubating original singer-songwriter types for some time now. At the end of most Sunday nights, attendees are mystified by what they just experienced. The quality and the variety of both young, mid-young, and seasoned musicians and vocalists has people scratching their musical heads.

Open Mic Night in Cape May

Questions like, where is this going? Where is this energy coming from? Combine our great bar service, atmosphere, and over-the-top musicians, and you, will ask where are we? Are we in Nashville or Austin, just to name comparable towns with music like Cape May?

Our boss, Mark Kulkowitz, knows something special is happening in his establishment. You can see his wheels turning about the bigger picture. Sure a full bar means sales are good. But Markโ€™s heart is in it too. On more than one night he has re-arranged the dining rooms to accommodate the ever-growing, ever attentive audiences. The Mad Batter, like the Blue Bird in Nashville, is becoming Cape Mayโ€™s premier listening room.

The neat thing about Sunday nights at the Mad Batter, is that it starts and ends as a family affair. Young upstarts occasionally wow the crowds, with mom watching, while they display talent beyond their years. The night often crescendos with another familyโ€“The Bastard Sons of Captain Mey.ย Growing in popularity, so much so, the Sons recently landed on the cover of the color edition of Exit Zero Magazine.

Cape May, NJ activities

The Mad Batter music Cape May offers, is difficult to reduce to words. With social media pages like Facebook, you can follow many of the published performers profiles.

Better yet, come on in to the Mad Batter on a Sunday night and hear and see for yourself. If you go the music usually starts around Seven P.M. Get there early to get a seat at the bar. You will find yourself scratching your head in wonderment. Wondering why have I not been here before.
