Come share your musical passions at Belmar Art Center's Weekly Open Mic and Music Workshop! Every Tuesday, sign-ups start at 7pm.Attention songwriters and musicians, a new open mic is town. In addition to the monthly open mic we have, we are facilitating a WEEKLY open mic and workshop, every TUESDAY for artists to hone and share their amazingness and receive feedback. If you wish to share an original of yours, awesome. If you want to play a cover, great. You may want to just share an idea with a band to see what it sounds like. That's great. This open mic is designed for collaborators and experimentalist alike, to try new things, and be open to different possibilities. Join Multi-Instrumentalist Andy Demos every Tuesday Night.
This is a Belmar Arts Shared Interest group run by Andy Demos adreamos1@gmail.comPlease email Andy if you have any questions or concerns.
Guests are warmly welcomed for any two open mics but after that a membership to the BAC is required. ($35/year and goes to a great cause)

In the spirit of collaboration and appreciation for musical brilliance, we bring you our monthly concert series — pairing tunes from legendary masters of rock, along with some unsung heroes following in their footsteps. Settle in for an intimate vibe akin to MTV Unplugged, Storytellers and Behind the Music, as singer/guitarist Kevin Spyker performs timeless hits and hidden gems, accompanied by an array of instrumentalists from the Belmar Arts music collective.
Reserve your seats for our series launch on May 18th — highlighting the music of rock icon Tom Petty, with an opening set honoring the up-and-coming band known as Dawes...each month we will tribute two different bands.
Between songs we’ll share some history and fun facts about our featured songsters.
We’re honored to name our tribute series after the memorable Dawes song / album “All Your Favorite Bands” with the anthemic refrain:
“I hope that life without a chaperone is what you thought it'd be,
I hope your brother's El Camino runs forever,
I hope the world sees the same person that you've always been to me,
And may all your favorite bands stay together!”
