ATTENTION: We here at The Underground Open Mic are very pleased to announce our two newest hosts @kathryngodoy & @kheritage_ ! Kathryn plays music as @yeahkemit and Kristen plays music as @thirdfloorghost , and both have been part of our community for a long while now so they know all about what we're all about. We're happy to have them on board as hosts alongside Adamegan (@inhcmusic ) & Miles (@theroadtoruinmusic ). The Underground Open Mic will continue as it always has, every Monday @barfreda801 (sign up @ 7:30pm, performances @ 8pm), now with more hosts!
The time has come my friends. I’m retiring from @theundergroundopenmic ! Every Monday on my walk home from hosting, I used to take a blurry selfie and text it to my friends saying “Another good mic! Not a goober in the bunch!” I am so impressed and humbled by every person who comes to the mic, gets on stage, and bares their soul a little. This open mic has brought me so much love and community in ways I couldn’t imagine. It helped me find my people and my voice. But, alas, it is time for me to move on. I love y’all so much. My last hosting gig is 4/20, come say hey and help me retire in a cloud of weed smoke.
And remember… the wish can works ✨ (pending your ability as a wisher)

Our friend Mike Lawler is in need of some support from the NYC communities he has worked alongside and helped build. He is our top sound engineer and has been a pillar of the NYC music scene for decades. Please help Mike focus on his health and speedy recovery. Despite being a veteran and an age that used to qualify for help automatically it is the NYC communities he has served and built that we need to turn to. Please visit and help this great guy out! https://gofund.me/4e86d3480
