Open Mics in Rhode Island

The organization's own website confirms the RIBA Instructional Jam is held the third Sunday of the month, 3:00-5:00 PM, at Barrington United Methodist Church, with a different moderator each month (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1].

The Venue's Website describes itself as hosting live music, open mic nights, team trivia, and weekend brunch, though that page does not give a day or time (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. An open-mic listing site gives the day as Tuesday [s2].

A promoter's own operations page states this runs every Monday night at Pub on Park, 655 Park Ave, Cranston, with sign-ups at 7:30 PM and the show starting at 8:15 PM (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1].

The Venue's Website suggests it may have ended.

The venue's own events calendar lists current Open Mic nights with guest hosts Michael James Roots, Ryan Kowal and Keith McCurdy, sponsored by the East Providence Arts Council (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. One of those listings was posted around Jul 22, 2026, so the calendar is being kept up. The day of the week is not given on the page.

A page on rhodycigar.com lists this night, but may not be current.

This listing's linked website is a stale page from Dec 4, 2014 describing the founding of the group, not a current listing. A search of the university's own events site turned up no legible dates for '193 Coffeehouse' (checked Aug 13, 2026). The best dated evidence remains a student newspaper article from Oct 3, 2024, describing the open mic, now about 22 months old [s1].

Once a year, on a Thursday, 6:00 PM.

The university's own event page confirms HERstory Open Mic Night ran Thursday, Mar 5, 2026, 6:00-8:30 PM, as part of an annual March event (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1].

The university's own event page confirms an Open Mic for Mercy Week held Sep 25, 2024, 1:00-3:00 PM, at McAuley Hall (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. This appears tied to an annual Mercy Week theme rather than a standing open mic, and no 2025 or 2026 instance has been confirmed.

A page on visitrhodeisland.com lists this night, but may not be current.

A tourism events website's own page for this venue repeats 'every Thursday' and was last updated Aug 10, 2026, with forward dates listed into 2027 (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. However, every one of those listed dates actually falls on a Friday, not a Thursday, a contradiction within that same page's own data [s1]. The Venue's Website could not be reached to settle which day is correct, so Thursday is not confirmed.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.

The second Friday of each month, 6:30 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The venue's own events page does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s2]. The only dated positive evidence is a listing site's entry from Jan 24, 2025, over a year and a half old [s1]. Whether the open mic still runs is unknown; there is no sign it has ended.

A page on pawtucketlibrary.libcal.com suggests it may have ended.

The library's own events system does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. The library and its Teen Center are active; only whether open-mic programming still runs there in 2025 or 2026 is unconfirmed, with no sign it has stopped.

The venue's events page lists this night, but may not be current.

The fourth Wednesday of each month. Only one source reports it.

The venue's own calendar page for this specific event is dated Wednesday, Feb 28, 2024 (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A search of the Venue's Website found several similarly named events under this series, showing it has recurred over the years, but no 2025 or 2026 date could be found [s2].

The organization's own website confirms it runs the first and third Thursdays at AS220, with doors and sign-ups at 7:00 PM and the show beginning at 8:00 PM (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1].

The Venue's Website suggests it may have ended.

A university arts events page was checked but is not the right calendar for this specific program [s1]. The program's actual website could not be reached (checked Aug 13, 2026), and no other confirmation of its day, time, or current status was found.

A page on student-engagement-leadership.providence.edu lists this event, but may not be current.

The specific page for this program could not be reached, on two separate checks, the most recent on Aug 13, 2026. A related student-engagement page was checked instead but does not establish a day, time, or current-semester schedule for the open mic [s1].

A ticket page on eventbrite.com lists this event, but may not be current.

Occasional. The Venue's Website has gone offline since we found this.

The Venue's Website could not be reached (checked Aug 13, 2026). No 2024, 2025, or 2026 instance has been found. The newest dated evidence is a ticketing site's listing for Apr 18, 2023 [s1].

A promoter's own operations page states this runs every Thursday night at Palermo's Martini Bar, 298 Atwells Ave, Providence, with sign-ups at 7:30 PM and the show starting at 8:30 PM (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1].

A news article on patch.com lists this event, but may not be current.

Occasional. Only one source reports it.

Providence Hoot has no fixed venue, so its current location could not be checked directly. No venue hosting it in 2025 or 2026 was found. The only dated source is a 2014 news article describing it at Grants Block, one of several past locations [s1]. This gap is not evidence the event has ended.

The Venue's Website confirms a weekly open mic on Thursdays at 7 PM, alongside a separate weekly spiritual service on Sundays at 1 PM (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1].

The Venue's Website confirms an open mic every third Thursday, September through June, at The Music Mansion, with doors at 6:00 PM and sign-ups closing at 6:45 PM (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. The venue is in its own stated summer break through August, so the current lack of programming is expected, not a sign it has stopped.

The Venue's Website confirms an open mic every Tuesday, hosted by Corinne Southern, with doors at 6:00 PM and sign-up at 6:30 PM, no cover (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1].

A promoter's own operations page states this runs every Wednesday night at Napolitano's Lounge & Brooklyn Pizzeria, 375 Putnam Pike #35, starting at 8:30 PM (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A property listing site confirms the address is in Smithfield [s2].

Weekly on Tuesdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.

Archived copies of the venue's own open-mic website show it was live and changing through at least mid-2025, then began showing a not-found error by early 2026 (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A 2013 news article had described a weekly Tuesday open mic at this venue [s2]. Whether the open mic itself has ended, separate from that one webpage, is not established.

The venue's events page lists this event, but may not be current.

The venue's own event-calendar page lists 'Potluck Open Mic' cards, though both link to the same old date from May 28, 2023 (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Images on that page were uploaded around May 12 and Jun 10, 2026, showing it has been recently maintained [s1]. That does not by itself prove the event ran again in 2026.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.

Weekly on Wednesdays. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The venue is confirmed open and operating, including through a financial-crisis recovery reported in 2025 [s3]. Its own homepage does not mention 'Wednesday Lounge' or any open mic (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A separate page on the same website, its event calendar, shows the same absence [s2]. Both pages were later found to show too little text to reliably confirm or rule out whether the event still runs.

A page on unitedtheatre.org lists this event, but may not be current.

The nonprofit that operates the Knickerbocker Music Center describes 'Youth On-the-Mic' as an open mic series for 6th to 12th graders who want to perform, sing, or play music, on a page last updated May 28, 2026 [s1]. The venue's own separate website could not be reached. Whether the series runs every two weeks or every two months is not settled.

The Venue's Website suggests it may have ended.

The organization's own website does not mention an open mic anywhere (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. The organization itself is active and puts on theater productions, but the only earlier evidence for this event was a 2022 news article about a single rescheduled event, which never clearly established a recurring series.

Weekly on Sundays, 5:00 PM. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.

The Venue's Website lists one upcoming event, 'Acoustic Open Mic Night w/Pete V,' on Sunday, Sep 13, 2026, 5:00-8:00 PM (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. That same page has no Monday-dated entries anywhere [s1]. An open-mic listing site had instead given a Monday 6:00 PM time for this venue [s2].
