"Songwriters Open Mic" is the FIRST TUESDAY of every month. Write me for details: EncompassMusic@comcast.net. "Songwriters Open Mic" has been going on for over twelve years now. Also, performances are videotaped for community-access TV in Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids. All songwriters are welcome! (Jim Novak)
Jim Novak (9/2008): This is pretty interesting is there alot of acts that come in… I would like to check it out… I've been writing songs and started singing and playing recently… Just looking for a place to take part in…
Clayton Turner (2/2008): Howdy--I'm an amateur sing/songwriter--just getting the courage to perform publicly and this sounds like the ticked--See you tomorrow
Gary Taylor (10/2007): Hi, This sounds like a wonderful opportunity for amateur performers like myself. I was wondering if there is a piano available for open mic or if i need to bring my keyboard. Unfortunately, I have a class that overlaps with most of the open mics scheduled. Do you know of others in the Ann Arbor area during the summer? Thank you for your advice! oh, and are these dates still correct for 2007? I guess that's pretty important. Thanks,
Beth Kerwin (6/2007): There is an open mic each Tuesday night at Oz's Music. On the FIRST Tuesday of each month, Jim Novak hosts "Songwriters Open Mic." Performers are videotaped and edited for a community-access TV show seen weekly in Ann Arbor (also in Grand Rapids and other places). This open mic, and the TV show of the same name, are for original songs, played unplugged. "Songwriters Open Mic" is in its 10th year at Oz's. The OTHER Tuesday night open mics at Oz's are more of the tradtional anything-goes variety (originals or covers, plugged or unplugged, etc).
Jim Novak (10/2005) On the first Tuesdays how hard is it to get in to play or what is the process? I've been to several other open mic sessions and it was almost impossible to get to play. What is the venue/type of originals that can be played and how many songs are each songwriter allowed? Thanks Dave Morse (3/2008)
