Open Mic Night at OLS

April 2 @ 7:00 PM 9:30 PM EDT

Free Admission! Doors open at 6:30PM


Join us for an evening of live music, connection, and community!

We’re reviving our monthly open mic series at One Longfellow Square! Hosted by Maine singer-songwriter Thomas Charles Clukey, this night is all about sharing songs, discovering new voices, and building a supportive creative community. Whether you’re performing or just listening, come be part of the experience!

How It Works:

  • Doors open at 6:30PM
  • In-person sign-ups: 6:30PM – 7:00PM – Drop your name in the lottery; we’ll draw 10 performers (or 12 if time permits.)
  • Showtime: 7:00PM – 9:30/10:00PM – The night kicks off with a short set from Thomas before performances begin. Each artist gets two songs or 10 minutes—whichever comes first.
  • Extra Slots? If time allows, we’ll pull more names at 9PM to keep the music going.

Performer Notes:

  • This open mic is geared toward singer-songwriters to keep transitions between sets short and smooth.
  • Bands may have a chance to apply for a featured artist slot in the future… stay tuned!
  • Stick around, support your fellow artists, and grab a drink at the bar!

About Your Host:
Thomas Charles Clukey
is a singer-songwriter from Saco, Maine, whose music is deeply rooted in the landscapes and stories of New England. Growing up in the small town of St. Albans, Thomas was immersed in music from an early age—whether it was listening to Q106.5 Country Music and Country Gold Saturday Night with his dad, or performing in his school band.

With a sound that blends CountryRoots, and Americana, Thomas crafts songs that feel like heart-to-heart conversations. His influences range from modern icons like Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers to timeless storytellers like John Denver. His lyrics reflect the grit and grace of everyday life, often exploring how music serves as therapy—a way to process life’s challenges while honoring his Maine roots.
