Open Mic
Here’s your chance to perform on one of the best concert stages in the northeast! Every Saturday MSA teams up with One Longfellow Square for an Open Mic from noon until 3:00 pm. Each performer gets a 20-minute slot-enough for three or four songs. It’s a perfect venue for trying out new material, honing your performance skills, and auditioning for other MSA events such as the concert showcase series, Portland Summer Music series, and paid performance opportunities. We offer on-line sign-up so you don’t have to show up beforehand and wait hours and hours to play-BUT, we hope that you will give your fellow musicians the same respect you’d appreciate from them: get there early, stay late, and listen well.
February sign-ups are here: http://www.doodle.com/v7wmyvbggrhriii2
IMPORTANT: Include both your name and your EMAIL ADDRESS when you sign in.
It is important that you remove your name from this schedule well in advance if you are unable to attend so that someone else can sign up for the spot. The Open Mics at One Longfellow Square provide one of the ways we evaluate musicians being considered for showcases and for other paying gigs like Art Walks for which we are often asked to provide musicians. Punctuality and professionalism are important.
