Just what is "Open Mic Night"?

Open Mic Night is a venue where all levels of musicians can participate in a live performance. No matter how young or old, “Open Mic Night” is an opportunity for musicians and vocalists to showcase songs and talents in front of a crowd. Not to be confused with "Karaoke," where the words and music are provided to the participant, "Open Mic Night" is for people who play an instrument or who can sing the words without the help of a TV screen. Even though it may seem complicated to play your own accompaniment, usually "Open Mic Night" musicians are glad to 'sit in' and help out newcomers.
