Open Mic Night

A beautiful outdoor space and for performing. Whether you're a musician or a music appreciator - come join us for a casual evening. A Different Kind of Open Mic...for Those Who Love to Play, and Those Who Love to Listen. For years, the 41st Street Music Patch has welcomed nationally touring musicians from across the country to our backyard listening room. Now, for the first time, we're turning the spotlight toward the remarkable musical talent right here in the Sarasota and Bradenton communities. Whether you're a seasoned performer, an emerging songwriter, or someone who simply loves sharing music with an attentive audience, we invite you to join us for an evening built on creativity, community, and connection. This isn't a noisy bar or a place where music competes with conversations. It's a true listening room, where every performer is respected, every song is heard, and every audience member comes because they appreciate live music. Guests are invited to bring a favorite appetizer or dessert to share at our community table before the music begins, helping create the warm, welcoming atmosphere that has become a Music Patch tradition. Bring your favorite beverage, we'll provide the proper glassware. After all, we're still... "Rustic, with a hint of snobbery." This March Open Mic Night is being emcee'd by Fran Snyder of The Listening Room Network. If you're looking for opportuntiies to perform at house concerts, Fran is the source of great connections and information to get you started. Whether you're performing or simply enjoying an evening of exceptional local talent, this is your chance to experience the Music Patch in a whole new way. This event also serves as a fundraiser to help support the 41st Street Music Patch and our mission of bringing outstanding live music to our community. Perform. Listen. Encourage. Connect. Join us for what we hope will become a new Music Patch tradition. At the 41st Street Music Patch, every seat is close to the music, and every concert is unforgettable. Reserve early.
