Open Mic Performer Sign-Ups

This registration page is for Open Mic performers only. We have transitioned to online sign-ups for our Monday Open Mic event. To register and participate, please add a slot to your cart when they become available at 11 AM Central Standard Time. There are currently eighteen slots open. In an effort to include as many writers as possible, we ask that participating songwriters not book two consecutive Open Mic Night performances. Writers listed must be present at the venue and have checked in with the host by 5:15 PM on that Monday evening to perform. We will honor any existing Play Next Time stamps but will not distribute additional ones. Please remember these guidelines remain in place: Each participating writer receives one or two original songs, performed solo or accompanied by no more than two others on stage. Drums and backing tracks are prohibited. A house Taylor Grand Pacific guitar and a Kawai digital piano (88-weighted keys) are available for use. Each performer may bring one guest. Open Mic Nights are made possible by The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The RIAA recognizes the importance of The Bluebird Cafe as providing opportunities, not just to established writers and artists, but also to those developing their talents and careers. More about RIAA here. Tickets for guests attending Open Mic Night are not reserved in advance. These seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis when doors open. Please note you may be seated with persons outside of your immediate party.
