Open mic opportunities...

Michelangelo’s Coffee and Wine Bar has been providing Norman artists, young and old, with countless opportunities to begin their musical endeavors.

As a fair amount of Norman musicians seek that headlining spot on the various stages throughout the city, most of the local ambitious artists are looking for a beginning point. Michelangelo’s accommodates these individuals best by presenting singer-songwriters with a nonexclusive stage and a chance to break out of the proverbial reluctant bubble.

Michelangelo’s has a medley of beneficial scenarios that fresh local musicians MUST engage in. Of these, the most pertinent to the inexperienced artists are the once-a-week to biweekly songwriter’s open mic night, and the conventional open mic night that is held every Thursday. The songwriter’s mic night is a union of sorts that enables artists to exhibit their songwriting skills for the examination and critique from fellow composers. This allows the artists to expose their prowess to an audience of both fresh and experienced musicians.



In addition to the songwriter’s organization, Michelangelo’s also provides the stereotypical mic night every week. This night is perfect for those musicians that are just getting their feet wet in the Norman music scene. Michelangelo’s is trying its best to provide inexperienced artists with a venue to polish themselves musically, Michelangelo’s clerk Kristin Schimmel said.

It is the responsibility of Norman musicians to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity where he/she can learn the ins and outs of performing to a select audience. Michelangelo’s provides the perfect platform for the practicing artist.
