Music Festivals

The following local Festivals have a significant music component:

Open Mic

Open Mic nights are when cafes, coffeehouses, bars, and bookstores open their stage to anyone who wants to perform. It's a great opportunity for new performers to get out there and try their thing, and it's entertaining to watch, both the good and the bad.

This page lists places in the Rochester that host Open Mic nights. Check individual websites or Facebook for schedule.

2014-10-05 21:56:22   I am helping my son's band The Stick Figures to obtain shows. As such, I was wondering the opportunities to be considered to as a band listed as a Rock Band. They have been playing locally, with engagements at Water Street, Bug Jar and the Montage, and always received outstanding reviews.

Attached is the You Tube page I have set up for their band, and their Twitter page for your reference. Feel free to review and I would appreciate any opportunities. Thanks
