Every Wednesday evening, The Joliet Bakery, Deli, & Liquors aka (The Drunken Donut) comes alive with fresh, homegrown performers from the Chicagoland area. Musicians, poets, comedians, artists, and performance artists of all levels of experience are invited to sign up and perform a 15min set of material. Electric Wednesday is a unique and fun open mic that has an overwhelming amount of character.
Sign up sheet is posted at 8pm and live performances begin around 8:30pm. Stan, owner and bartender, can also be seen every Wednesday evening for a good chat while enjoying live entertainment. Electric Wednesday was inspired by Zak Alberico & Katie Dulny, and was hosted by them and others (Angie Morrison, Corey "Moondog" Myers, Cameron Little) for years! For the past several years Alex Ziech has been holding the fort after worshiping at the altar of local music and the Drunken Donut for over a decade and he couldn't be happier to carry the torch! This is a night to celebrate each others talents, build community, and celebrate diversity in every aspect of life! "We're here to inspire the environment. Projecting positive energy until the neighborhood is addicted to hope. Exposing every local hero" - Zak
