Poetry, songs, highlight first Sigma Tau Delta Open Mic Night

Eight performers showed off their talents to a packed audience in the Student Center Amphitheater Tuesday evening during Sigma Tau Delta’s first of several Open Mic Nights.  

Caleb Smith, 21, of Broken Bow, sang an original song, Ballad of a Forty Foot Hole, while playing the guitar. Smith said he came to Open Mic Night because he “likes opportunities to play in front of new people.” The original song along with a handful of other original pieces, can be found on YouTube by searching Caleb Smith. 

Other performers of the night were Abigail Swanson, the president of Sigma Tau Delta, Samuel LaRive, and a two-man band called 2nd Avenue, comprised of Josh Fernau and Thomas Hughes. 

The next Open Mic Night event is October 25 at 7 p.m. It will have a Harry Potter theme.
