Alderson residents and musicians are invited to monthly open mic nights at the Alderson train depot at 1 Railroad Ave, Alderson.
This family-friendly activity for residents and visitors of Alderson and the surrounding area takes place the first Saturday of the month, May through October, from 6-9 p.m.
Open mic night provides a non-threatening environment for practicing, non-professional musicians to play for a small audience and be with other musicians.
Interested musicians should email their interest or questions to openmicatthedepot@gmail.com. The amount of time for one performer to play is dependent on the number of people who sign up. Event organizers will provide the basic sound equipment. Participants must bring everything else, including instruments, mic stands and microphones, as well as music stands and chairs. The performers will be set up inside the depot, with audience and waiting performers sitting outside on the station platform. The audience area does not have any rain shelter.
Organizers are looking for family-friendly music, especially American roots music of old country, bluegrass, newgrass, blues, and gospel.
There is no registration fee for this event, and performers will not be paid. Performers are welcome to place a tip jar while they are performing.
