WHY ONLINE OPEN MICS?
For a number of years I have hosted Open Mic Jam Night events in my community in Mississauga, Ontario. These events have brought a great deal of joy to performers, and to music and comedy lovers. They have truly been the highlight of my week for as long as I can remember. This was our community getting together, to celebrate what we love.
While things are still starting to open up and there is uncertainty, I plan on keeping the open mics going on a weekly basis if at all possible. I will do my best my friends!
I’m very happy that I can do a version of this online with all of you! Now more than ever we need to band together as a community to support one another, while practicing #SocialDistancing / #PhysicalDistancing so we can beat this thing.
I’ll be doing these open mics online until to help us all through these strange times. While I would prefer to see you all in person, let’s all do our part and do this online instead!
Big shout-outs to Cuchulainn’s Irish Pub & Failte Irish Pub (RIP) in #Mississauga for creating amazing spaces in my city to host these types of events, we are all so grateful now more than ever!

I’ve been exploring different ways to accommodate our normal number of performers and this seems like the best way!
Once you email me, I will send you the meeting link to join. I highly suggest downloading the Zoom app for your phone, or at www.zoom.us. You will need audio and video to perform, and your phone is probably the easiest way.
EVENT ITINERARY:
745pm-8pm – performers join the Zoom meeting, troubleshoot audio/video issues
8pm-820pm – Matt Zaddy intro’s the event/performs
820pm onward – OPEN MIC!
A FEW THINGS:
– this will be broadcast on Facebook live through the Matt Zaddy Artist page, and shared to multiple different pages/groups as well.
– Artists will go through Zoom to be able to have their performance heard/watched
– Attendees who are not artists will watch on Facebook live
– Performers please join the Zoom meeting between 745pm and 8pm if possible so we can troubleshoot audio/video issues.
– CONTENT: because this will be broadcast through my personal & artist facebook page, I have to be strict with the type of content I have from performers. This will be viewed by people of all ages so let’s conduct ourselves accordingly. What you perform reflects directly on me as a host.
– Absolutely NO misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, hatespeech, etc.
– anyone who violates the rules will be kicked out of the event and barred from future performances
– Artists will go through Zoom to be able to have their performance heard/watched

I’m sure I don’t need to say that to most, if not all of you, but this will be broadcast everywhere and I want this to welcoming to ALL people.
You will all need to download the Zoom app, which should start automatically when you try and enter the meeting. If you have any issues with Zoom, contact me ahead of time and we’ll work it out.
Looking forward to it guys, let’s make this one amazing start!
