The Open Air, Open Mic at Josie Porter Farm is held every other Wednesday 6-10pm from June Through October!

​

Nestled and immersed in our lush, green Appalachian hills and historic farmland, we're just minutes from Stroudsburg, PA and the Delaware Water Gap in the Pocono Mountains.

​

We're looking forward to continuing this event that is quickly becoming a months-long, summer tradition, all in the spirit of celebration, community, collaboration, music and the arts. And of course, the organic nature of our hosting biodynamic farm at Josie Porter!

​

Musicians & Performers:

 

All styles of music & expression welcome! Full backline provided including drum kit, bass amp, guitar amp, mics/stands, and stage lights. Please feel free to bring your own mics, amps, or any other gear & equipment if you'd like.

Signups will start at 6pm each night!

 

* Important notes on signup format:

​

To encourage and ensure spots to play for everyone, specific spots on the list will be dedicated and reserved for first time performers of the Open Air, Open Mic.

​

There will also be a "2 weeks on, 1 week off" policy where we ask if you've played two events in a row that you take the 3rd one off to allow the opportunity for others to perform.

​

There will be always be a wait list in case the main list does not fill up though, and we often pull from that list to fill up the evening, so we encourage you to still come out regardless!

​
