John Henry's Hammer Open Mic

10/28/2026

John Henry’s Hammer Coffeehouse held its 4th Open Mic of the 2026-2027 season on Friday, October 23. It was a busy night and we had so many performers sign up that we had to limit each person to one song or piece. What we did hear was really spectacular and fun!

We meet on the second and fourth Friday of the month, unless otherwise noted, at the First Unitarian Church, 90 Main Street in Worcester, MA. Doors open and sign up is at 6:30 and music begins at 7:00. $3.00 to get in. Everyone is welcome to come and either perform or listen. We should mention that because of holidays in the months of November and December, we will only meet once each month. November 13 and December 11. January we will be back to our regular schedule.
