Open Mic Night - October 22nd!

Old Trolley Barn: The Heartbeat of Spokane’s Local Music Scene with Open Mic Night

Nestled in the heart of the Spokane, the Old Trolley Barn isn’t just a venue; it’s a gathering place where history, community, and creativity collide. While it’s known for its charming mix of antiques, a bustling coffee shop, and event space, the Old Trolley Barn has also become a home for local musicians with its much-anticipated Open Mic Night. This event, held regularly, has become a cornerstone for both aspiring and established artists to share their music, stories, and talents with a welcoming audience.

Why Open Mic Night?

The idea behind the Open Mic Night at Old Trolley Barn was born from a deep desire to connect the community and give local musicians a platform to share their artistry. The Spokane Valley has always been rich with musical talent, but for many artists, finding a space that values local expression can be a challenge. Old Trolley Barn sought to change that by creating an event that not only welcomes musicians of all genres but also encourages them to bring their raw, unpolished selves to the stage.

“We wanted to offer a space where musicians of all backgrounds could feel comfortable showcasing their talents,” says the owner. “It’s about more than just performing – it’s about building a community and offering a platform for those who might not have access to larger venues.”

Open Mic Night is not limited to musicians. Poets, spoken word artists, and storytellers are all welcome to take the stage. The spirit of the event is inclusivity, ensuring that everyone – from the seasoned performer to the first-timer – has a chance to shine.

The Perfect Setting for Artistry

One of the aspects that makes Open Mic Night at Old Trolley Barn so unique is the venue itself. Housed in a historic landmark, the barn is filled with character. The rustic charm of the venue, paired with its eclectic mix of antiques, live music, and coffee, creates an atmosphere unlike any other in the Spokane.

Inside, you’ll find a welcoming space where the hum of conversation blends with the aroma of fresh brew on tap, courtesy of local roasters. The Old Trolley Barn prides itself on supporting the community, which is why they’ve partnered with various Spokane-based coffee roasters to serve only the finest, locally sourced brews. Whether you’re sipping on a bold espresso or a smooth latte, each cup is crafted with care, offering the perfect companion as you enjoy the evening’s performances.

Community, Collaboration, and Creativity

At its core, Open Mic Night is about more than just performances – it’s about fostering a sense of community. Musicians don’t just come to play; they come to connect with each other, share tips, and collaborate on new projects. It’s not uncommon to see musicians who meet at Open Mic Night teaming up for future performances or recording sessions.

The atmosphere is casual and friendly, making it the perfect space for musicians who might feel nervous about taking the stage. With each performance, the crowd is always supportive, cheering on performers, whether they’re playing a cover of a beloved classic or sharing an original song for the first time.

“We see friendships forming here, and that’s what it’s all about,” says one of the event organizers. “It’s about more than just the music – it’s about the connections people make.”

Bring a Friend and Make a Night of It

With music filling the air, fresh coffee in hand, and good company by your side, Open Mic Night at the Old Trolley Barn is an experience you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re a performer or just a lover of live music, this is the perfect place to spend your evening.

Invite a friend, grab a cup of fresh brew, and settle in for a night of incredible local talent. There’s something magical about hearing live music in an intimate space surrounded by the history and charm that only the Old Trolley Barn can offer.
