Please feel free to email Steve with questions We prefer musicians with ORIGINAL material but will allow some covers throughout the night. We are an "all ages" venue and do not allow backing tracks, hip hop, rap or bad language. Always a fun night with some incredible talent. An Opening Bell tradition since 2005.

Due to Covid-19, we will be practicing social distancing and 50% capacity regulations. All microphones and  equipment will be sanitized after each use. All employees are required to wear a mask, tables and chairs will be sanitized frequently as well. 

Host: Steve Jackson has been hosting our open mic since 2009. Before that he was a regular performer here since 2006. A veteran of the north Texas music scene since the mid 70's, he left performing in 1981. Steve continued to write and in '06 returned to the stage and rekindled a passion for what he had been missing all those years.
