Free Admission! Join us for an evening of live music, connection, and community! Our monthly Open Mic at One Longfellow Square is a space for sharing songs, discovering new voices, and spending time in a supportive creative community. This year, the series will be hosted by a rotating lineup of our 2026 Longfellow Emerging Artist Fellowship (LEAF) Fellows, each bringing their own presence and perspective to the room. Whether you’re performing or just listening, you’re invited to show up and be part of the night. How It Works: In-person sign-ups: 6:30PM – 7:00PM – Drop your name in the lottery; we’ll draw 10 performers (or 12 if time permits.) Showtime: 7:00PM – 9:30/10:00PM – The night kicks off with a short set from our featured LEAF host before performances begin. Each artist gets two songs or 10 minutes—whichever comes first. Extra Slots? If time allows, we’ll pull more names at 9PM to keep the music going. Performer Notes: This open mic is geared toward singer-songwriters to keep transitions between sets short and smooth. Bands may have a chance to apply for a featured artist slot in the future… stay tuned! Stick around, support your fellow artists, and grab a drink at the bar!
