Staccato Open MIC NIGHT

Every tuesday, local musicians take over the stage for Open Mic Night. Anyone brave enough to face a crowd is encouraged to sign up. All styles of music and skill level are welcome (you gotta start somewhere). Sign-ups are done in-person anytime after 7pm on the board near the front door.

We usually kicks things off around 8:30pm, and performances are limited to 3 or 4 songs (at discretion of host). Leave your drummer at the bar as there is no percussion allowed during open mic (long story, but "cranky neighbors" should cover it). Staccato supplies the mics and guitar cords, you just need to bring your ax. There is a piano on stage for performers to use as well.

Other open mic rules to keep in mind are:

  • Bring your guitars upstairs until it is your time to perform, in other words: please don't leave your guitars downstairs on the floor.
  • Tune your guitar before you go on stage, the management thanks you for that consideration.
  • No horns (cranky neighbors'rule applies here)

WHAT TO EXPECT - The atmosphere on open mic night is loose and easygoing. No tryouts (from what I hear, Nashville clubs need to get over themselves), and no attitude. So bring your thirsty musical friends along for what we humbly call "the best open mic night in DC".
