got jam?
This is a listing of all the open mic nights for musicians in Greater Vancouver.
Open mics come and go, and we can't keep on top of them all by ourselves.
It's a good idea to call the venue first and make sure it's still open.
Help us out -- Submit a new open mic or tell us about a dead one at changes (AT) openmicvancouver (DOT) com
Don't forget to read the comments at the bottom of the page. Someone may have posted an update.
Please include the address, phone number, and start time of the open mic and you'll get listed faster. Also include any useful relevant info about the open mic: do they have a piano, or extra guitars, or a drumkit? Is it a jam or is there a particular style to the event?.
Click on a weekday to get more info about the open mics on that day. Happy playing!
