Events

This open mic provides performers a venue where their music will be heard, and provides those attending the ability to hear every note and lyric without being distracted by loud conversation.
The Music Exchange Listening Room (MXLR) has recently attracted performers from as far away as Bellingham, Fitchburg, Chelmsford and Melrose. It is fast becoming recognized as an open mic with lots of talent (as well as great acoustics and comfortable seating!). We have a newly tuned baby grand piano in the space, and a wonderfully respectful audience that keeps their conversations low and applause levels HIGH! Original music is welcome and encouraged, as well as anything else that you’re into. We have a large stage and will happily accommodate acts from soloist to 5 or 6 piece bands. Teas, cider, decaf, waters, fruit, snacks and desserts are there for the taking. We welcome all ages 14+, doors open at 7:30, music begins at 8 and we wrap up before 11. We pass the hat each night, since these are voluntarily run events, and thank you in advance for your support!
