Open mic night for artists and singers to showcase their talent; sign-ups at 5pm, performances at 5:30pm. No cover charge.
The Barrel Room is hosting an open mic night on Sunday, October 18, in Portland. It's a night for artists and singers to get on stage and showcase their talent, and the floor is open to anyone who wants a turn.
If you're planning to perform, you'll want to get there early. Sign-ups open at 5 PM, and the performances start at 5:30 PM. Since it's an open mic, the order is decided by who signs up, so the earlier you arrive, the better your chance of getting one of the first slots. If you're just coming to listen, you can show up whenever you like and catch the acts as they go.
Because it's an open mic, the lineup is built from whoever shows up that evening. You'll hear a mix of singers and other artists, and since there's no set bill, the variety depends entirely on who decides to sign up. It's a low-pressure way to get some stage time if you've been working on new material, or just a good excuse to hear a handful of local performers in one go.
