Connecticut Open Mics Updated on
12/15/2011
A very selected list. This page does not list every
open mic in Connecticut. New ones appear with little advertising, and old ones
disappear without warning.
We don't work on this page often, so it is possible to send us info, and then
we'll drop the ball for a few weeks before adding it to the page.
If you don't mind driving, it is possible to perform at an open mic almost every
night of the week.
When
in doubt, check venue websites, or other internet directories and maps, for
directions, age
restrictions, admission fees, etc...
All bars in Connecticut are 21+. Always CALL FIRST
if you are driving a long distance.
Karaoke nights are not listed here. We do not
consider Karaoke to be an open mic. We also do not list
"poetry/spoken word only" open mics.
Many of the listings are incomplete.
If you have attended one of these open mics, we would welcome information on
the venue, the start/end times of the open mic, any PA equipment available, and
the type of music the audience wants to hear. Yeah, we could call all these
places ourselves, but we don't feel like it.
Just send an email to questions
[at]
ctlocalbands
[dot]
com. Let us know if you'd
like a credit for supplying the information.

Remember this is a bar. There is a lot of crowd noise, and a tendency
for the PA to be cranked too loud. If you need a quiet environment, or have
difficulty singing/playing while people are talking loudly in competition with
you, avoid this jam. 203-789-8281 More info needed.
