The Listening Room - A New Kind of Open Mic
Advertisement
A focused listening space for STRICTLY original songs
The Listening Room is a monthly songwriter night in Melbourne designed around one simple idea: original music deserves attention.
Hosted at Nighthawks, it offers a stripped-back, distraction-free environment where original songs are heard properly - by both the room and the performer.
This isn’t a typical open mic.
The Listening Room prioritises listening, presence, and respect. There’s no background chatter, no competing noise, and no pressure to perform beyond what the song requires.
For artists, it’s a chance to share work (new or in progress) with an attentive audience.
For listeners, it’s an opportunity to engage closely with original music in an intimate setting.
------------------------------------------------------------------
What to Expect:
-2 original songs per performer
-Solo or duo acts (if you have more, email in advance)
-A supportive, respectful audience
-A quiet room - no background chatter, no distractions
🎟 Free entry
📍 Limited capacity
📝 Sign-ups on the night from 6:45pm
⏰ 7:00pm start
Whether your song is finished or still finding its shape, this is a space for honest creative sharing.
Hosted by @GYMjot
P.S. A ticket does not gaurantee you a performance slot! It does gaurantee you entry into the venue. Performance slots are strictly sign up on the night - if the list is already full when you arrive, we offer you a reserved slot for the next month.
