Every time I mention open mics and stages, I tell people they can come out and SEE the talent or they can get up and BE the talent… but it is so much more. Come out and see what’s happening at all the open mics, open stages, and open jams in the Peoria area.

OPEN MICS TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR:
The Listening Room Mobile Open Mic
Acoustic Open Mic, hosted by Sarah Marie Dillard. It is often on Tuesdays, but has been popping up other days of the week as well.
As the name suggests, locations vary. This is a uniquely intimate open mic that encourages active, supportive listening when artists are performing.
Join the Listening Room Facebook group to see dates/times/locations
Friendly Valley Open Stage
Outside. May replace the open stage at Kenny’s Westside for the summer. Full Backline. More details when we get closer.
Perdue’s Grill
When Megan Maroney is home on break from college, she often holds an acoustic open mic here, usually on Wednesdays.
If you know of one we don’t have listed or some info we need to change, the fastest way to get it fixed is to message PML through Facebook.
