A unique environment of music and art, Sandy Spring Museum, in partnership with rob’s Open Mics and Institute of Musical Traditions presents open mic every Tuesday from 7pm – 9.30pm. 2 pieces or 10 minutes whichever’s SHORTER, adv. registration REQUIRED (info & COVID restrictions below), house keyboard available upon request, webcast LIVE on Facebook, YouTube and Twitch. The evening is FREE but we hope you’ll bring a little something to support the night’s featured artist.
COVID precautions mean that advance registration at sandyspringmuseum.org/programs-and-events/calendar/ is required – on nights we’re indoors only the 1st 25 registrants will be admitted (and we’re probably indoors till the SPRING) – and proof of COVID vaccination is required (vax card, photo thereof, or negative test within the past 48 hours).
