We’re teaming up with Grrrlbands for a monthly open stage at Speakeasy Carrboro, happening every second Saturday from 2–6 PM. It’s an easygoing, welcoming afternoon for our queer community and the allies in our corner to share whatever they’ve got cooking. Whatever your art looks like, we want to see it: Acoustic sets, new songs, or half-finished riffs Poems, spoken word, and stories Comedy and tight five-minute sets Performance art, movement, or yeah… literally a magic trick Zero gatekeeping, no high-pressure nonsense—just good folks cheering you on.
Pass The Mic is a monthly open stage event in Carrboro where queer artists and allies share music, poetry, comedy, and performance art. Organized in partnership with Grrrlbands, this gathering takes place every second Saturday of the month. What to Know: The event is free to attend and runs from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, making it an easy afternoon outing. Speakeasy is located in downtown Carrboro, where street parking and public lots are nearby. While the atmosphere is casual and supportive, the venue is a bar, so this event is best suited for parents with creative teenagers or those looking for a solo afternoon out. This is an excellent weekend pick if you want to support local grassroots art without the pressure of a late-night venue. You can drop in for an hour to hear some acoustic music or stay the whole afternoon to cheer on local writers and performers.
No, this monthly community open mic is completely free to attend.
