Weekly open mic night for Portland musicians at Singacoustic, a listening room and bar/restaurant.
Singacoustic hosts its open mic night every Tuesday at 7 PM, a weekly spot for Portland musicians to get on stage. The venue is a listening room and bar/restaurant at 2600 Northeast Sandy Boulevard, and it's built around acoustic music. It seats 52, so it's a small room where the focus stays on the performance rather than the background noise. The night is billed as Portland's listening-room open mic, and the format is two songs per performer.
What makes it work is the mix of who shows up. On any given Tuesday, you'll hear established performers alongside local musicians and first-timers stepping up for the first time. It's a listening room, so the crowd is there to hear the songs, and the two-song limit keeps the night moving without letting any one set run too long. If you've been working on a few new pieces and want to hear them in front of people, this is exactly the kind of room for that.
It's not just a stage, either. Singacoustic is a full bar and restaurant with a kitchen and a full bar on the floor, so you can eat and drink while you listen. Reviewers have called it a 'happy hour every day' spot, and that carries over into the open mic: food and drinks are available throughout the night. Whether you're there to play or just to hang out and listen, you can settle in with a meal and a drink.
