Roland Scholl, Tim McGeary and Justin Mathias crooned, strummed and plucked their personally created art under the spotlights as a small summertime crowd listened and sipped drinks.

“I haven’t played like that in a long time,” Scholl said to McGeary, shaking his head after they finished a song in their set.

“It’s fun, though, isn’t it?” McGeary replied. McGeary organized this weekly night almost two years ago for musicians to share their personal creations on stage.

McGeary has been writing and performing songs since the 1980s, touring with Billy Idol, The Cure, and most recently opening for The Black Crowes, David Ball and Confederate Railroad. On July 6, he got a publishing deal with Wynonna Judd’s company in Nashville as a songwriter. His songs have been featured on TV shows such as “Smallville” and “One Tree Hill” and in movies “In Mysterious Ways” and “The Knowers.”

People who appreciate this level of original music and songwriting can also hear lyrics about local places.

Mark Hofmann stood on stage an hour later with his guitar and sang “Swamp Symphony.” This weekly event is important to him.

“It’s like having a place to express your art,” he said. “This is your own poetry.”

To the crowd, McGeary laughed and said: “We’re trying to get people used to the idea that they don’t always have to listen to cover bands. Not that there’s anything wrong with ‘Brown- Eyed Girl,’ but 35 years of it? Drive me crazy now.”

Sitting with her friends at a table near the stage, Carlene Thissen was part of that crowd, but she had just performed her own songs about Immokalee. She’s recording her first song, “Take These Hands,” in Spanish for local radio stations.
