Open Mic Night New Hudson – Mondays at 6pm
If you’ve been looking for a casual, local way to get on stage, Open Mic Night New Hudson at the New Hudson Inn might be just the opportunity you need. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or a Brighton Music Academy student looking to take the leap from practice room to performance, this weekly event welcomes all levels and styles.
The New Hudson Inn—established in 1831 and known as the oldest bar in Michigan—is located just a short drive from Brighton and is quickly becoming a go-to for live music and local talent. Every Monday at 6:00pm, the mic is open for singers, guitarists, piano players, songwriters, and more. There’s no cover, and no need to pre-register—just show up and play.
A Great Fit for Adult Music Students
We encourage our adult students—many of whom are rediscovering music later in life—to consider attending. Performing live, even in a casual setting, builds confidence and adds another layer of purpose to lessons. If you’re taking guitar lessons, piano lessons, voice lessons, or even songwriting, this is a low-pressure space to try out material in front of a supportive audience.
Brighton Music Academy is proud to support local arts and performance opportunities like this one. It’s not just about practice—it’s about connection.
Why Open Mic Nights Matter
Many professional musicians—from John Mayer to Ed Sheeran—started by frequenting open mics. These events allow musicians to:
- Test new material
- Gain real audience experience
- Network with other local artists
- Simply have fun in a musical environment
Whether you want to try a few covers or debut an original, you’ll be in good company. Plus, The New Hudson Inn offers food, drinks, and a fun, laid-back vibe that’s perfect for a Monday evening out.
