IF YOU have ever dreamed of taking to the stage to sing or performing with a full backing band, the Villa Noosa open mic night is giving locals the chance to experience the real deal.
Every Thursday from 8pm, Villa Noosa will host an open mic night led by Muso James and his full band, including a professional sound master and light show.
Anyone who wants to get along only needs their guitar and sense of adventure. Muso James, also known as James Warner, said you wouldn’t find a more elaborate open mic night on the Sunshine Coast and said anyone was welcome to come along and give it a go.
“Lots of bands that are forming get up and try their stuff,” he said.
“People also get up and just want to have a sing. It can be a cover or an original. Our backing band will listen and get up to support. People love it.”
With a “couple hundred years’ experience” between them, Muso James and his band will help you feel like a seasoned musician.
“Most people just want to have a go, and that’s what we encourage,” he said.
The Villa Noosa is located in the Noosa Village complex on Mary Street, Noosaville.
