The Mainstay's Open Mic Nite

Open Mic Night

On the second Wednesday of every month (beginning at 7 p.m.) the Mainstay welcomes area performers to take the stage and treat our appreciative audience to a sampling of their repertoire. The invitation is open to musicians (individual and small ensemble players) who bring their own instruments to perform both cover songs and originals. The Mainstay provides the sound system, and a piano will be available onstage. The Open Mic also welcomes poetry recitations and short comedy bits. Players will sign up for a spot in the evening rotation upon arriving and will appear on the program on a first-come-first-served basis. The Open Mic format also provides the chance for local audiences to support the talented Kent County musical community, whether they are amateurs or professionals. From Tom Paxton to Bob Dylan, Jacques Brel to BB King, Motley Crue to Frederick Chopin -- the sky is the limit. These events are open to the public and there is no admission charged.
