Otto's Wednesday Jam & Open Mic

IMPORTANT: FOR MAY, JUNE AND JULY 2023, THE OTTO'S WEDNESDAY NIGHTS WILL ONLY BE AN OPEN MIC, THERE WILL BE NO OPEN JAM DURING THIS PERIOD, THIS INCLUDES NO DRUMS AND NO BANDS.

Otto's Wednesday Jam & Open Mic is an open mic followed by an open jam, the night is 21+, there is no advance signup. The open mic is primarily singer/songwriter focused but other performers are welcome. The open mic starts at roughly 6:45 pm followed by an open jam that starts at 10:30 and ends at roughly 12:45 am. It's STRONGLY suggested that open mic'ers get there early, people start getting there at 6 pm, if you want to participate in the open mic then roughly 8/8:30 pm is roughly the LATEST you can get there but again, it's strongly suggested you get there much earlier in the evening. Earlier in the night open mic'ers get two songs each to perform but later in the evening that switches to one song. My name is Ira Zadikow, I'm the organizer of the night, any questions please email me at [email protected]. There is a full backline there including a keyboard, just bring your guitar, bass and drumsticks, please DO NOT BRING YOUR OWN AMPS OR KEYBOARDS. Please also see the Facebook and Instagram pages for the jam at https://www.facebook.com/Ottos-Wednesday-Jam-Open-Mic-101376364651706 and https://www.instagram.com/irazadikow/.

The open jam is a fairly typical jam with music genres including rock and roll, blues, r&b, soul, funk, etc. We do NOT lean at all towards heavy metal, hard rock or jazz. The room is a small room, volumes are at a decent level, not that loud.
