🎤 Chillicothe’s Newest Open Mic Night is HERE! 🎸
Come out and join us outside on the patio at the Chillicothe American Legion Post #9 for an evening of great music, good food, and even better company!
Open Mic Night kicks off Wednesday, April 15th, 2026 and runs every other Wednesday through September 6th. We’ll be going from 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM each night. Open to the public and under 21 is welcome to attend!
Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just getting started, this is your chance to:
• Share what you’ve been working on
• Try out a brand-new song
• Meet other local musicians
• Network and support each other
• Capture footage and photos for your own marketing (perfect for social media reels or artist pages!)
Sign-up sheet goes out at 6:30 PM — Open Mic starts promptly at 7:00 PM.
Acoustic-style open mic 🎸
We’ve got microphones and cables covered — just bring your acoustic guitar and you’re good to go!
(If you prefer, you’re welcome to bring your own amp and pedal board.)
Format:
Each performer gets a 3-song set.
If we get a full list, we’ll switch to a 2-song “rapid fire” format so everyone gets a chance to play.
Duos are welcome — two guitars, two vocalists, no problem!
Got a full band? We’d love to have you! Please reach out in advance so we can coordinate and make it happen.
Come grab a bite to eat, enjoy some drinks, hang with friends, and soak up the live music on the patio. Whether you’re performing or just here to cheer everyone on, you’re going to have a great time!
See you on the patio!
