Below is a recollection of Roslindale Open Mike's humble beginnings by founding partner Mike Delaney.
A Brief History of ROM
The thread that led to Roslindale Open Mike (ROM) began around 1994 at Java Jo's coffee shop in East Milton...
All are Welcome!! No Cover!!
ROM meets the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month, 7pm-10:30pm
Same day sign up for performers.
See Details page for more info.
Our Golden Rule is “All are Welcome!!” We want a listening room, with a non-judgmental, supportive audience, that appreciates the diversity of our performers, from beginners to touring professionals. Everyone should be treated with kindness and encouraged to use their stage time to grow as a performer. Everyone is expected to listen politely to their fellow open mikers. Loud conversations should be conducted in the entryway or outside.
We are all on a journey with a wide range of goals and aspirations. We seek to help our caring community continue to thrive.
