Americana Open Mic Spotlight

Keena Graham hosts the all new Americana Open Mic Spotlight. It's still our Wednesday Open Mic, with a spotlight artist performing at 11pm, but with a focus on what we showcase best here at Red Light Café: Bluegrass, Roots Rock, Country & Western, Folk, Blues, and even a little jazz and R&B. In other words: We're looking for Atlanta's Best Americana — we're looking for YOU.

Online sign ups start at high noon the Monday before the show.

$5 Performers / $3 General Admission
Doors @ 7 PM

Performances begin at 8pm sharp with 10 participants getting a 15 minute slot. At 10:30, the top 3 finalists (determined by crowd response (bring your entourage!), Keena, and the RLC Staff) will showdown by performing one more song each to determine the night's winner! The winner receives a $25 RLC gift certificate, and a spot in our monthly Americana Showcase (stay tuned for more details on that)!

Performers and times will be posted day-of-show at noon (here, and on Facebook). Good luck, and make us proud!

  • No tracks — all performances must be live, i.e., no pre-recorded music
  • Solo performers OR bands are a-ok; we welcome all Americana acts
  • Participants will receive a recording of their performance within 48 hours (be patient!)

All slots are currently filled. See you all tonight!
