CMC Open Mic Night

If you’re working out a tune, want to give it a try on stage, meet some other musicians in the community, then you’re invited to CMC’s first-ever Open Mic Night! Whether you’ve got an original piece or a cover, are practicing for a recital, workshopping something that’s half-complete, want to organize a mini jam band—the mic is yours! Come hang, encourage one another, and step into the spotlight. It’s low-pressure and inclusive.

All musical styles and levels are welcome, from vocalists to bands, chamber groups to rock & roll, and everything in between. Open to CMC students, faculty, and local community musicians.

We’ll have beverages available and a supportive atmosphere—come listen and play. Hosted by Shannon Koehler and Luna Fuentes. We can’t wait to see your creativity on stage!
