Every city of any size has a coffee shop with an open mic night where local talent can cut their teeth in front of an audience. Memphis’ version is the tiny Java Cabana, where kids from the scene get caffinated and experience a little bit of what their peers have to offer. The hideaway hangout for poets has become minorly famous in its own way, appearing in not only $5 Cover, but also Morgan Jon Fox’s breakout OMG/HaHaHa (Q&A with writer/director). The open-minded crowd and nurturing atmosphere makes open mic night one of the most interesting evenings in Memphis. From a knock-down, throw-out chess game to music you won't find anywhere else in the city, there's always something on offer at Java Cabana. CREDITS
