NEPA Scene Open Mic at The V-Spot in Scranton
Advertisement
Established for over a decade, the NEPA Scene Open Mic is one of the longest running and most popular open mic nights in Northeastern Pennsylvania, attracting varied lineups and great crowds to The V-Spot in Scranton every Tuesday.
This free event gives up-and-coming and established local musicians, comedians, actors, performance artists, magicians, and more the platform to showcase their talents in front of new audiences, meet other artists, and hang out together while giving each act some extra publicity through the live stream and photos. Even touring bands have stopped in to play a set in between gigs.
Sign-ups are from 6 p.m.-8 p.m., and while a limited amount of sign-ups may be accepted after that, arriving early guarantees a spot. Every act receives between 10 to 15 minutes of stage time, depending on the turnout for that particular night. The show starts after 7 p.m. and runs through midnight or later. Original material is encouraged.
Everyone participating will be featured in the live stream on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, though some online platforms do not allow copyrighted tracks to be played, so some sets may not appear on the stream. Photos of each act will be made available for download in the NEPA Scene Open Mic Facebook group, giving artists professional shots that they can use for their own promotion.
Artists must be 18 or older, and those who are 18-20 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Parents or legal guardians with an 18, 19, or 20-year-old must provide valid IDs for both parent and child in order to enter the venue.
The venue provides a well-lit stage, a soundboard, two microphones, two standard instrument cables, and a five-piece Mapex house drum kit. Full bands are welcome to perform. Those who have pre-recorded music or backing tracks can bring them on their phone or laptop; NEPA Scene has audio cables ready to plug devices directly into the soundboard. If any other equipment is needed, performers must bring it with them.
