The Weather Center Café in Sheboygan Wisconsin's waterfront district, in addition to being the recognized source for superb drinks of the latté/cappucino variety, fine sandwiches and (excuse me) damn good coffee, is one of the central hideouts of the strongest local songwriters scene I've ever come across. It hosts a regular open mic night every Wednesday evening, with some truly fantastic artists taking the stage each week. Definitely check it out if you're in the area, as well as open mic regulars Hopscotch Wonder of Cleveland WI, the fantastic duo Lillie Lemon, Sheboygan songstress and RN Kyane Howland, blues powerhouse Sequoia, and open mic host and curator of local music Don Burhop, who has a fairly crusty history of his own. It's all good.
Many of these artists perform at other venues across the city, and appear frequently at not-to-be-missed concert events including the Sheboygan Earthfest.
