Bands bios:

Reese is an open dude hosting open mic at Caravan. He comes from the cartoonish land of Texas, and he wants to bring a strong sense of community to the performers of Beijing. Come by, say hi, and feel free to jump on the mic! He'd like to meet you on Sunday, whether you're a musician, comedian, poet, storyteller, or juggler he welcomes everyone to join in the good times!

Reese是一个开放的家伙，经常在驼队的开放麦克风神出鬼没。他来自卡通画一样的德克萨斯，他希望能把北京的开放麦克风给到每一个想表演的你面前。走过路过不要错过，跟这个大胡子美国人打个招呼，他就能把你安排上台。他希望在星期天能见到你，不管你是音乐人，喜剧人，诗人，讲故事的人，甚至到耍杂技的人，他都想跟你一起度过美好的时光，再重复一遍，他是一个开放的家伙！
