- Hi! My name is Miss Jackie, and I'm the new host for this open mic. Open mics at the Grafton are now held every 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month, and we get started at 9:00pm. Sign up starts as early as 8:00pm. All genres welcome!

- Good host, good atmosphere in a small, smoke free room with couches and tables and a good sound system. Good musicians, young and not so young.

- Went there again last night. They rotate hosts. Some good, some not so good. Suggest you call first.

- I have been going to this open mic off and on for about two years now. It is consistently one of the better-run venues I've been to, with the emcee rotating monthly. Sound system is decent. Laid back. Usually just a small crowd gathers but they're fairly attentive. Three songs allowed, and on occasion when it's slow you get called back up. An average of 8 to 10 performers. Everything from rock to folk to quirky here. Beginners as well as some incredible talent coming in regularly. Crowd very supportive of original songs.

R.M. (4/2006)
- This is good for doing your first open mic or your 400th. It's pretty low key and the crowd and regulars are supportive.

Travis (4/2005)
- Nice host, supportive atmosphere, acoustic- oriented, small crowd but I've heard some good players there as well as a few quirky acts, one time the equipment didn't get there but oh well, tends toward Old Town School crowd.
