Never heard of “The Listening Room?” We’re Peoria’s first and only mobile open mic community! Join us as we pop up at a different location in Central Illinois every Tuesday evening. See new and established artists on new and established stages and enjoy a rapid-fire open mic experience averaging 10-20 acts per event. While we welcome and celebrate full bands we are especially known for highlighting the many acoustic acts and singer songwriters hidden within the expansive Peoria music community. Host Sarah Marie Dillard from Sarah & The Underground facilitates a unique open mic experience strongly reminiscent of the iconic Bluebird Café in Nashville, TN. 🚀✨
