An open mic night on Feb. 15 will give aspiring Purdue student musicians, poets and comedians a chance to show off their talents.

The event, sponsored by the Purdue Student Union Board and Starbucks, will take place from 6-8 p.m. in the Purdue Memorial Union Commons on the ground floor near Starbucks.

The Starbucks Music Series will continue that weekend with an acoustic show from 4-5 p.m. Feb. 17 in the Union Commons. Both events are free and open to the public.

The Feb. 17 concert will feature Shevy Smith, a singer and songwriter from central Kansas who draws upon influences that include Tom Petty, Maria McKee and Emmylou Harris. She is on tour to promote her 2006 sophomore release, "September Songs." Her first CD, "Blueprint," was released in 2004.
