Admission: FREE!
You’re invited to take the stage at World Cafe Live at The Queen's weekly Open Mic Night and progressive talent competition, hosted by Kyle Swatzwelder. Held every Tuesday night in Upstairs Live, musicians check in at 6:30 pm to sign up for a 2-song performance slot. Slots are offered on a first-come basis. Performances begin at 7pm. Performance slots for artists using backing tracks are limited to 2 per week. Each performance is judged by a panel that may include Kyle, the WCL manager on duty and a representative from sponsors.
On the last Tuesday of each month,, the 3-4 weekly winners from the previous month will be invited back to the stage for a chance to perform a full set. At each of these monthly shows, the panel of judges will select a single winning act to be awarded a monthly prize package, and there will be a limited number of 2-song performance slots, so sign up early!
At the end of the year, all monthly winners will compete in a showcase on the main stage downstairs in the Copeland Theater, and one winning act will receive an Annual Prize Package.
Prize packages include gift cards from Accent Music, a music video shoot, band website and poster design and social media consultation from Planet Ten Multimedia, 20 one-color-print custom tees from Spaceboy Clothing, button and poster printing from Aztec and studio time from Scobell Recording Studio.
Please note that occasionally a featured performer will play an extended set (not eligible to win); scheduled featured performances can be found on our World Cafe Live at the Queen Open Mic Facebook page. On occasion, we are forced to postpone the signup time or cancel Open Mic Night due to private events or public concerts – please see our Facebook page for the most up to date info.
