#26 Open Mic Nights

Don't confuse this with Karaoke!
Singers and songwriters hit the stages in the bars, taverns and restaurants of Springfield, to show off their craft and get some constructive criticism from other musical movers and shakers in town.
Springfield has it's very own music scene sprinkled all over the town and it's surrounding areas. The best say to see examples of this are open mic nights.
These are evenings where artist play for the patrons. Some establishments that host open mic nights are Marley's (Monday nights) Norb Andy's (Monday nights) Bar None (Tuesday nights)
So ask your favorite watering hole if they host an open mic night, or stumbling in somewhere on a weeknight and be entertained.
