Music at True Brew Barista has never really “gone anywhere,” but the café/bar/ music venue wants you to know that it’s going all-out on that front from here on out.

On Thursday nights, it’s all-original open mic featuring local celebrity Dusty Gray. Remember, no covers are allowed at True Brew, so this isn’t your ordinary open mic night.

Then, there are Full-on Fridays, featuring some of the best local and nationally touring bands.

There are beer specials from 6 to 8 p.m., and a cover charge applies from 9 to midnight to compensate the musicians.

On Saturdays, they’ll slow things down a bit with Saturday Night Solo. These nights will have a more laid-back feel, and it will be all solo musicians. The music will run earlier – about 8 to 10 p.m. – and there won’t be a cover charge.

Here’s a quick sampling of some of the upcoming acts:

March 3: Chris Peters with special guest Rob Kleiner

March 4: Walker Smith

March 10: Lauren Hurley and Friends
