Saturday 29 August 2026 @ 19:00 UTC


NOTE

Please ensure you fully meet the JGC OM Performer Criteria for Open Mics, as detailed in this Call For Interest (CFI) and in the links below. Performer slots are available according to the following criteria.

  • We ask that performers be actively engaged members who embody the positive and supportive pay-it-forward ethos we have long nurtured within the Community.
  • We ask that performers have made an Introductory topic, ideally including some information about their learning path with JustinGuitar.
  • We ask that performers have shared recent audio-video of their playing in the Community Recordings section.*
  • We ask that performers have previously attended Open Mics as an audience member or performer.

Performers

  • There are, nominally, up to 15 performer slots available with an opportunity to play 1 or 2 songs. The number may be expanded if needed. Please reply stating your wish to be considered for a slot.
  • Please state your location & UTC time zone - helpful when planning the order for performers.
  • Performer slots are not allocated on a first-come first-served basis but there is a deadline.
  • The performer application window closes approximately one week prior to the event after which a final list of performers will be published and performers will be included in a private messaging to arrange further.

The previous open mic was truly enjoyable and somewhat relaxing. I can’t wait to see what talents are going to be presented on this open mic. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :guitar:

Hi Richard @Richtrfc - not sure if I can make the OM 41, summer is in full swing and no rain so extra work on the allotment. But if I sign up I was thinking of playing “These Days” by Jackson Browne as the fingerpicked song. And nother Ella Langley song :slight_smile: Please don’t tell me you were thinking about These Days as well … :fearful:
