Roughly 15 bands and solo artists took the stage to perform on Tuesday at Open Mic Night hosted in Linden Hall’s Coffeehouse. Sophomores Jacob Fishman and Carlie Viemann ran the event along with other members of the College Programming Board.

“There’s one major genre always being shown at open mic and it always emphasizes one type of audience. I think at least once, they should do an open mic that only focuses on a couple of genres,” Hemmings
