OPEN MIC
In addition to our Friday concerts at the Black Forest Community Center, the Black Rose hosts an Open Mic at some of our local Colorado Springs establishments. This offers new and beginning musicians a chance to perform in front of a smaller audience than they otherwise would as a Friday opening act, and you need not wait 9 months to perform!
We would like to invite our members and the general public to come out and help support and encourage our local performers. Our Open Mics are currently held in the relaxed atmosphere of the Buffalo Lodge on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month where in addition to hearing the music, you will be able to purchase drinks, thus helping to support local business as well.
