About TCAN Open Mike

This page has info about the TCAN Open Mike. We'll be posting schedules and news here and on Trisha and Phil's website. To send email (like subscription requests for the mailing list) to the open mike use: tcanom@lyricguitar.net

The Folk/Acoustic Open Mike night at TCAN has been a tradition since the opening of The Center years ago. And we could try to describe this event by mentioning all the significant songwriters and talented musicians who have played and sung and captured a special moment in time.

But the TCAN Folk/Acoustic Open Mike night isn't about individuals so much as it is about a community. This is a place where creative people meet to exchange ideas, listen to each other’s musical expressions, and forge lasting friendships based on a shared love of music and poetry. The TCAN open mike is less about performance and more about sharing our musical gifts with each other, as well as mentoring and encouraging new performers. And – it’s about rekindling the creative soul hiding in all of us.

The folk/acoustic open mike at The Center for Arts in Natick (TCAN) - most Mondays. Open Mike Starts at 8PM but sign up by 7:30.

It costs $5 but is free to TCAN members above the $50 level. (The math is pretty easy if you plan to come often.)

Venue info -

The Center for Arts in Natick
14 Summer Street
Natick, MA 01760

Hosted by Mark Stepakoff (www.markstepakoff.com) on the first and second Monday of the month
