The Open Mic nights on this thread are all defunct. I host a really great Open Mic Night every Monday at Bartini Bar in Babylon. Sign up starts at 8:30. The music starts at 9:00. The format is 3 songs/15 minutes. Originals or covers are all good. Just sign up, plug in and play! No Cover Charge! I look forward to hearing you! We have paying weekend gigs available for the people who support the night and the other musicians and play cool stuff! BANDS ARE WELCOME TOO!! We have a PA and drums.
