Open Mic Night with host Tommy Sanchez (Raff Raffey) at Old Arabi Lighthouse

Old Arabi Lighthouse is proud to announce the hosting debut of the great Tommy Sanchez, who used to go by Raff Raffey in his punk/new wave days. Tommy is an wonderfully inventive songwriter, whose tunes cover some pretty cool topics, including a bizarre ode to The Stepford Wives that always gets a huge reaction. In the 80s, he experienced some fame for temporarily changing the HOLLYWOOD sign in California to promote his band, The Raffeys. Tommy still plays those great old songs, along with some new ones, and some seriously cool covers. You won't want to miss this.

Tommy plays a set at 6pm, followed by open mic at 7. Each participant will get up to 15 minutes of undiluted fame.

All events at Old Arabi Lighthouse are free to the public, but while you are here, please consider making a purchase so that we may keep the lights on and continue to bring you quality programming at no charge. Thanks for supporting local businesses!
