Think you have star-quality vocals or just love to perform? ArtsQuest is hosting local singer/songwriters, musicians and artists to perform at its new Open Mic Night series at SteelStacks. Hosted by Billy Bauer of the Billy Bauer Band, the open mics will take place every Thursday (except Thanksgiving), 7-9 p.m., in the Creativity Commons of the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks, 101 Founders Way, Bethlehem.

Each open mic will include a performance by Bauer or an occasional guest host, as well as a special featured artist.

Following the featured artist performance, the microphone will be turned over to the public for the final segment of the show. Artists interested in performing at the open mics can register at www.artsquest.org/openmic. Performers can also sign up at the ArtsQuest Center starting at 6:30 p.m. on the night of the show.
