Folk Open Mic Feauring Adam Michael Rothberg

The Folk/Acoustic Open Mic 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 Mic night isn't about individuals so much as it is about a feeling. Hallways filled with artists tuning vintage guitars, changing strings of steel and quietly rehearsing fragments of lyrical poetry. Nervous first-timers hitting their stride on a high note or a magical turn of phrase. Seasoned veterans rediscovering their music by sharing new songs and old favorites with appreciative audiences of supportive peers. And the incredible, almost guilty feeling that comes with knowing you're witnessing a one-of-a-kind experience that exceeds all expectations.

All musicians and spoken word performers are invited to participate in this weekly event. Come early to sign-in as a performer, or to get a great seat for one of the most successful and entertaining open mic nights on the East coast. Each Folk/Acoustic Open Mic night features a variety of new and experienced performers, followed by concert presentations by the featured artist of the evening. Come and see why TCAN has become the gathering spot to see and meet local artists and nationally recognized touring performers.
