OPEN MIC NIGHT IN DOWNTOWN BOSTON.
A room of adults who have been practicing all month, playing what they have been working on. Not a bar with a sign-up sheet and a queue of strangers.
Runs on odd months, always a Friday, doors at 7:00 PM at 33 West Street, Floor 5, in Downtown Crossing. On even months the Happy Hour Performance takes the same slot, so there is a stage every month.

What the night is actually like.
Members and their guests take a slot and play what their instructor has been helping them build, whether that is a first song all the way through or a full band set. Everyone in the room is somewhere on the same path, which is what makes it easier than playing at a bar where the audience came for something else.
There is no audition, and no cover charge for members. Slots are claimed through the ticket link on the date you want. The studio is adults only, and every T line reaches us: the Red and Orange at Downtown Crossing, the Green at Park Street, the Blue at State.
Not playing yet? Most people start with the $100 Intro Week, which applies toward a membership or a lesson pack if you continue. See adult singing lessons in Boston or adult guitar lessons in Boston.
