On Monday nights, Local 506, at 506 West Franklin Street, hosts Monday Night Open Mic. It’s free to attend and free to perform.
Make sure to check the Monday Night Open Mic Facebook Group. Some Monday nights the open mic does not take place because something else is booked at at Local 506.
Basic backline is provided (drums, amps, keyboard, mics.)
Sign up is at 8 p.m. and performers start at 8:30 p.m. Each performer is allotted 15 minutes or 3 songs time, whichever comes first.
In accordance with NC Law, memberships are required to attend shows at Local 506. Memberships are $2, available at the door the night of the show, and are good for life. A membership card is issued when purchased, and must be presented at the time of entry to the club (a picture on a smartphone will do just fine!). Over 21 members are welcome to have a guest, though under 21 members must each have their own membership.
