Tongue & Groove - Raleigh-Area Open Mic

Details can change. Please confirm the date, time, location, and ticketing directly with the organizer before attending.

About this event

Tongue & Groove hosts a monthly open mic in downtown Raleigh, NC, at Artspace in historic City Market. Every second Sunday, we welcome poets, musicians, and storytellers to co-create an afternoon of ephemeral creativity. (Sorry, no comedy.) Wanna know what it's like? Check out our Behind the Scene video below (supported by United Arts Wake County, Raleigh Arts, and the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources)! Why join us? Because you have poetry, music, or stories to share. Because you love local talent and want to hear what the artistic souls in your city have to say. Or because you think that shared creativity in the form of an open mic night just might save the world. All shows free for audience and performers. BYOB. Covers welcome. Originals encouraged! If you want to perform: - Drop your name in the hat anytime from 12:15 PM on. - At 12:45 PM SHARP, we draw names for 15 seven-minute slots. - If you're present for the drawing, you can choose your slot. - If not, we will assume you've been waylaid by pirates and fill from the end of the list to give you plenty of time to chew through your bonds or parlay for your freedom. - Halfway through the show, we draw 3 more names for our bonus 4-minute shim slots. If you don't make it on the list this month, come back next month! (via Tongue & Groove)
