Plugged In's 1st Ever Open Mic Night!

NEEDHAM [July 15, 2013] - Are you a teen musician
looking for a chance to perform? Do you wish you had more opportunities
to play with other musicians your age? Are you nervous about performing
for an audience?

Well, have no fear! Next Friday, July 19, Plugged In will be offering its first ever open mic night!


You'll have the chance to play in front of a friendly, supporting
audience in the intimacy of the Plugged In rehearsal space. If you're
already a student in Plugged In, this is your chance to get another
performance in before the big show, and
if you're new to performing, this is a great opportunity to practice and
share your skills in a smaller, more comfortable setting.

We
encourage acoustic music to be performed, but there will also be amps,
drums, etc. available for full band performances; however, due to the
small size of the room and the varied ages of the audience, please be
respectful and keep your performance more contained than usual.

Open Mic Night
Friday, July 19, 2013
Sign up - 7:30p - 8:00p
Performances - 8:00pm - 9:30pm
Plugged In
20 Freeman Place

Needham, MA 02492
Parking is available in the lot behind the building.


Performers can play solo or with their band. Performers can play
original music or cover songs. Performers will play in the order they
signed up. The length of each set will depend on the total number of
performers signed up. Performers can bring their own instruments or use
the instruments here at Plugged In.

This is NOT a
competition! This is an opportunity to share your music and your
passion with your community, friends and family!

Musicians of all ages and skill level are invited to perform! Bring your friends and family for a great night of music and fun!
