Colorado Open Mics and Jams
This working statewide directory includes recurring public music open mics, open stages, songwriter events and musician jams across Colorado. Public bluegrass picks are included as jams, along with blues, jazz, Irish, acoustic, ukulele and other participatory music gatherings. It is not an exhaustive census: local venue calendars and social posts can surface events that statewide directories miss.
Last statewide verification: September 2, 2026. Grassroots schedules can change quickly. Check the linked source or contact the venue before making a special trip.
