WHERE REHEARSAL MEETS THE REAL THING:
The Gig Room’s Open Mic Gets Musos Stage Ready

When you finally make the big decision to turn professional — after years of rehearsal and perfecting your art — there’s one major dynamic that musos need to consider before they start performing live:

No two venues will be the same.

Different performance spaces, different sound and different lighting. What worked perfectly in your rehearsal room can suddenly feel foreign on stage. Voices can sound thinner or boomier than expected. Instruments can lose clarity or get lost in the mix. Professional lighting can be another shock — bright spots, colour changes, and movement you’re not used to can throw your focus and ruin your concentration.

This is exactly why The Gig Room’s Open Mic is so valuable for musicians transitioning into paid gigs.

The Room can’t recreate every possible venue you’ll play, but it does give you the chance to perform in a genuine live music space with the support of an experienced sound and lighting technician.

You get to feel what it’s like to adjust your performance on the fly, work with a real audience, and learn how your sound travels in a proper space. It’s low-pressure preparation that builds real confidence before you step on to bigger and more unpredictable stages.

Stage Fright Often Comes From Surprise: The Gig Room Makes the Unknown Familiar

The Gig Room also gives musicians the opportunity to perform as a Support Act or Main Act at the Open Mic. These slots let you play a full set rather than just two or three songs, giving you valuable extra stage time to connect with an audience and refine your show.

Headliners receive full professional support, including custom artwork, photography, copywriting, bios, and marketing to help promote your appearance. On the day itself, you’ll also be professionally photographed, with the images provided to you free of charge for your own future promo and marketing purposes.

It’s a practical stepping stone — helping you move from rehearsal room to real stages with the tools, experience, and support you need to grow as a live performer.

Come along to this Sunday’s Open Mic, and let’s start your transition from amateur to pro.

It’s all happening at The Gig Room.

We’d planned to host our Open Mic this Sunday, but another important function now needs to take place at the club, so we’ve had to postpone the event.

The next Open Mic will now be held on the third Sunday of the month:

1:00 pm – Sunday 21 June 2026

Please share this message with any muso friends who were planning to come along this Sunday, so nobody makes the trip unnecessarily.

Thanks for your understanding, and we’ll see you on 21 June.

Cheers,

MORE THAN JUST A SING-A–LONG:
It’s a Launching Pad for Future Stars

Karaoke Fever is set to light up Bundanoon Club on Saturday, 25 April, and it promises to be far more than just a fun night out. For up-and-coming singers, it’s a genuine chance to step onto one of the most professional live performance stages in the Southern Highlands and put their voice to the test in front of a crowd that loves live entertainment and appreciates fresh talent.

With state-of-the-art lighting, quality sound, and a proper stage atmosphere, Karaoke Fever gives local singers the kind of setting that can make all the difference. It’s one thing to sing in the lounge room or at home with mates, but it’s another thing entirely to stand under the lights, hear your voice fill the room, and connect with an audience that’s ready to cheer you on. That kind of experience builds confidence, sharpens stagecraft, and helps performers grow.

It’s also the perfect stepping stone for singers who may want to cross over into The Gig Room’s Open Mic scene, where vocalists can begin performing alongside live musicians in a real band setting. For many emerging artists, that’s how the journey begins. One strong karaoke performance can lead to bigger opportunities, fresh collaborations, and the confidence to take the next step.

Whether you’re workshopping new material, testing your nerves in front of a crowd, or simply chasing that rush that comes from live performance, Karaoke Fever offers a supportive and exciting environment to develop as a singer.

Add in great prizes, a lively audience, and a brilliant atmosphere, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a standout night.

SUNDAY SOUND WITH SERIOUS SOUL:
Chris Reay Opens in Style

The Gig Room Open Mic – Support Act

Chris Reay brings experience, soul and a genuine love of live music to The Gig Room Open Mic on Sunday 29 March, where he takes to the stage as the Support Act from 2pm.

A familiar face to local audiences, Chris has performed at Bundy Club Open Mics in the past and has already shown that he knows how to connect with a crowd. This session, he steps into The Gig Room for the first time, bringing with him two decades of musical experience, a strong blues and classic rock influence, and a laid-back style that suits the spirit of a Sunday afternoon jam perfectly.

Chris plays acoustic guitar and electric bass, and his musical influences speak for themselves. Inspired by names such as Keith Richards, Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix and Jack Bruce, he brings a sound shaped by groove, feel and timeless songwriting. As a vocalist, he draws inspiration from Sting, Paul McCartney and Jim Morrison, giving his performances a broad musical character that blends warmth, edge and melody.

Among the songs he loves performing are Under the Milky Way, Valerie, To Live Is to Fly and Ripple, which gives audiences a good sense of the kind of set they can expect. Chris is the kind of performer who values the craft of music, enjoys learning, and sharpens his live skills through open mics and blues’ jams. Away from the stage, he’s a software developer by trade, a family man, and someone whose passion for music clearly runs deep.

Originally from Cape Town, Chris brings both life experience and musical depth to every performance, and his Sunday appearance is set to be one of the highlights of the afternoon.

Whether you’re coming along to cheer on first-time performers, catch the main acts, or simply enjoy the atmosphere, make sure you’re there early for Chris Reay at 2pm. His first Gig Room Open Mic performance promises to help set the tone for another memorable afternoon of live music at the Bundy Club.

Where: Bundanoon Club, 70b Erith St, Bundanoon

When: Support Act – Sunday 29 March from 2.00pm (Open Mic from 1.00pm till 5.00pm).
