LIVE MUSIC
Listening Room Concerts: Fridays & Saturdays at 7pm
We feature a wide variety of genres with an emphasis on original music. We work hard to curate a listening-room environment. Whether it’s rock, folk, jazz, or electronic you can expect to hear every detail of the performance. All shows are free to attend unless specifically noted as "ticketed". Check our Facebook Events page or our weekly socials posts to see who’s coming here next. You’ll hear a mix of local and touring acts, seasoned performers and emerging artists and you'll be blown away by by the talent and variety that exists within Michigan's music community.
​
The Stray’s new Open Band Night is a full-band–friendly open mic designed for musicians who want to plug in and play. Hosted by singer-songwriter Nathan Walton, this night is built for collaboration, discovery, and great live music.
Whether you’re a solo artist, a full group ready to test new material, or just here to listen and hangout, this night’s for you. We’ve got a full stage setup ready to go — drums, amps, mics, and PA included.
Sign-ups open at 6:30 PM - Music starts at 7:00 PM - 15 minute sets
Free entry. All ages welcome. Food, coffee, beer, and wine available.
At The Stray, we strive to create a welcoming, all-ages environment. Please keep performances respectful, inclusive, and appropriate for a diverse audience by avoiding explicit content and polarizing political or religious messages.
​
We look forward to hearing your set!
