Wednesday is the Memphis night
More of the metro sings on a Wednesday than on any other night. On Madison Avenue, Dru's Place and Slice of Soul share it. The Soul Train on East Georgia runs 7 to 11:30, The Studio Karaoke opens its suites, and Twenty-Seven 51 on New Brunswick Road has its house DJ in every Wednesday.
Thursday brings Brinsons, Blue Monkey and Abandem Kerokey on Outlet Road, whose Thursday is billed as an open mic with a live band and $5 at the door. The thin nights are the edges of the week: Tuesday belongs to Ani Joe's alone, and Sunday to Ethel's, across the river in West Memphis.
Karaoke with dinner attached
