Open Mic
Facts, tips and ideas about Open Mic — and how to find people for it.
Did you know?
Open mics were invented in the 1960s in the Greenwich Village cafés of lower Manhattan — stages like the Cafe Wha? had no program, just a sign-up list at the door. Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Jimi Hendrix played there before anyone knew them.
