So you’ve got a band, and you want to get out and play.  Maybe you’re trying to build up some experience before landing a “real” gig, or you just want to just get out and rock a few songs without all the pressure.  Here’s a list of open mic nights around the Charleston, WV area where you can play.  

This is a work-in-progress.  I was going to finish obsessively tracking down all the details before posting it, but I’ll start with what we’ve got.  If you know anything, leave a comment below and I’ll add it to the list along with anything else I find out.  No cover for these, unless otherwise mentioned.
