Open Mic Hosted by Barbara Cloyd

Open Mic at The Bluebird Cafe is a weekly Nashville tradition that welcomes songwriters of all ages and genres to share their original music. Hosted by Barbara Cloyd, the evening features a wide variety of musical styles, with performers ranging from novice to semi-professional, so the bill is different every time. Musicians hoping to play sign up online on the morning of the show, and the first 18 performers are selected for the stage.

Listeners can walk up to the club for a seat, since seating is first-come, first-served and holding spots in line is not allowed. The open-mic format makes the show an easy way to hear new songwriting voices in a room built around original songs. All ages are welcome at The Bluebird Cafe.
