The very first open mic session began on Wednesday, Nov. 16 of 2005, hosted by Bill E., co-founder of Waltz. 3 people attended the session, and 7 years later, the nights are packed with musicians, comedians, writers, and often goes into the wee hours of dawn. The process is simple, you sign-up, and you perform. Our new host Pedro (Waltz-Astoria) has an amazing way of making every one feel comfortable and special. This is not just your everyday open mic, we're working hard to make the night feel more like a real showcase. We believe that the art of performing are perfected by creating a situation where the artists have the full control over the stage and the audience just as they would doing a solo show. Often times, extraordinary talents are discovered at our open mics and are offered spots in our specialized showcases and featured presentations. Open mics are the first step for musicians to get their feet wet, and the open mics @ Waltz is the ONLY way towards self discovery and stardom.
Keyboard players - No need to lug your keyboard here because we have a beautiful Steinway grand waiting for you!
