open mic
we want to hear from some new voices! please email agreyeyes@gmail.com to sign up for the austin street festival's open mic.

we have three spots available for point douglas residents or indigenous artists in winnipeg who want to share two songs on the austin street festival stage. singer/songwriters on acoustic guitar (with a built in pick up on their guitar), rappers performing to tracks, and spoken word poets are encouraged to sign up. 

unfortunately we aren't able to accommodate trios or larger bands with multiple instruments at this time.

"the north point douglas women's centre is an important hub for the community in point douglas," explains sākihiwē festival director alan greyeyes. "we're working with them to take music to indigenous families in that neighbourhood so that local kids see that they can communicate with the world through the arts."

the open mic will kick off the concert, shortly after opening remarks at 12:00 p.m. studio 393 will present a number of the participants from their music program at 1:00 p.m. followed by a 50-minute set by local hip hop legend hellnback. hoop dancer shanley spence will take the stage at 3:00 p.m. and the talented ila barker will close the show with a 50-minute performance starting at 4:00 p.m.
