Metuchen's Open Mic Night

05/29/2026

TONIGHT!

It's Open Mic Night in Metuchen, featuring one of our favorite Open Mics of the year: DYLAN NIGHT!

Honor the master, who just turned 85 last week, by gettin' yer Dylan on - all performers must play at least one Dylan tune (though entire Dylan sets are welcome!); as always, originals are welcome too, especially if they are in the style or or in tribute to Bob Dylan.

Doors at 7:00, music shortly thereafter.

Come one, come all to Metuchen's Open Mic Night, and bring a friend!

As always, MOMN is brought to you by the Metuchen Arts Council and the Old Franklin Schoolhouse. Support them both!

Hey one and all!

Don't forget Open Mic Night is two weeks from tonight and it's the annual ALL DYLAN EDITION!

That does NOT mean every song must be Dylan (although we welcome it); It DOES mean every performer must play AT LEAST ONE Dylan song as part of their three song set.

Come celebrate the master's birthday at the open mic - bring your friends, instruments, good vibes, and whatever else you wish to share!

Remember, Metuchen's Open Mic is a joint between the Metuchen Arts Council and the Old Franklin Schoolhouse - support them both!

Open Mic Night is ON tonight, good peeps!

We'll be quasi old school: Fred and I will bring our Fishman amps and a monitor which can double as an amp if need be; we'll be able to accommodate at least three instruments and two vocals, and possibly but no guarantee one more of each.

Most acts will have no problem with this, but do bear it in mind if you're a four person group. It's just a tough night to lug all of the usual gear in and then break it down so late at night, especially in the sub zero temperatures.

Looking forward to seeing everyone this evening!

ARE YOU A LEAD GUITARIST?|

Danny Adlerman and the Just Cause has played with three rotating guitar players in the past five years. We love them all, and are happy to play with them - but we do feel it’s time for some stability!

If you’re looking to play in an established band - say, 10-12 times a year give or take - and live anywhere between say the Freehold to Metuchen area (you can come from further away, but we rehearse in these two locations), let us know!

We rehearse generally once a week, though we’re all flexible, once you know the set list - just a few times before a gig might be fine.

We're a vibe band who are mellow without being adult contemporary, and rockers without being head bangers, specializing but not limited to 60's-'70's covers as well as originals. If this speaks to YOU, speak to ME.

Shoot me a message if you or someone you know is interested!

Open mic peeps: Fred and Danny talked about it with the newest weather reports just issued.

We're cancelling open mic this evening. While the snowfall totals aren't looking to be huge by 10:00 pm, it will be snowing constantly and frankly we don't want you good people traveling in it.

Please take care, keep safe, and stay inside with a nice hot toddy.

And from all of us at Metuchen's Open Mic Night, and the good people who sponsor us (The Old Franklin Schoolhouse and the Metuchen Arts Council), have a safe and happy new year, and we'll see you in January!

Peace ✌🏿 and love 💗

- Fred and Danny
