Open Mic Night

Welcome to OPEN MIC NIGHT at the HI Ottawa Jail Hostel!

Head down to Mugshots (the HI Ottawa Jail Hostel Bar) every Wednesday for our weekly Open Mic. Bring some friends and grab a drink at our newly renovated Bar (oouulala..) You'll have a chance to meet all kinds of interesting people while listening to all sorts of awesome musicians, singer-songwriters, and artists from Ottawa and beyond! This event is for performers looking to test out their stuff, try new songs, play covers, play original material and sing their heart out. Hosted by singer- songwriter Claude Munson.

Note to the Musicians: 2-3 song limit - Please treat the stage as well as the audience w the same grace and respect you would your grandmother, be prepared and rehearse as much as you can! There is a house guitar and we usually have two microphones. If you have a bigger set-up, dont hesitate, bring your band - we have a few more inputs. See you there!
