Every Sunday 8:30 - close:
Jamian's (www.jamiansfood.com), 79 Monmouth Street, Red Bank, NJ 07701. Phone: 732-747-8050 Last Friday of the month Contact: RobertDDye(at)gmail.com The Open Mic jam nights hosted by Rob Dye began back in the late 90’s at the Downtown Cafe in Red Bank, NJ. Over the years, hundreds of musicians have come down and sat in with the house band of Rob, George Ott and Michael Ghegan and showcased their own original material, or just joined the ever-growing crowd of listeners. Great local talent such as Pat Guadagno, Brian Kirk, Matt O’Ree, Chuck Lambert, Melissa Chill, Linda Chorney and many others are regular visitors to the open mic. We’ve even had the surprise drop-ins from Richie Sambora and other Bon Jovi members, legendary drummer Steve Ferrone (Tom Petty) and artists joining us after their show at the nearby legendary Count Basie Theatre. The jam has been successful because of its loose, friendly atmosphere and positive collective attitude towards live performance. The jam offers a unique opportunity for musicians from all walks of the strata to get together and combine their ideas. The Open Mic has grown into a fantastic social scene for networking, collaborating, finding potential new band members and even professionally recording your material. Magical moments happen when different players are brought together on stage to create music. In 2009 the Open Mic moved to Jamian’s Food And Drink at 79 Monmouth Street where it is continuing to build on its success. It is the center of the Red Bank music scene and the spot to be on Sunday Night. Signups for the Jamian's Sunday Open Mic starts at 7:30 pm every Sunday. Showtime is 8pm – 1:30 am.

Special Under 21 Open Mic Night at Jamian's Due to popular demand from high-school age musicians over the past summer, we started a once-a-month Under 21 Open Mic night at Jamian's, which is held the last Sunday of every month beginning at 6 pm. You will not believe the talent these kids. It's a great family event and a great opportunity to socialize and catch some of the area's hottest up and coming stars! Stay all night and catch the regular open mic right afterwards! |
