Join us every Monday from 6:30–10 PM at The Hostel Cafe for our weekly Open Mic Night, a cozy, community-focused space where local and traveling musicians share original songs, covers, and acoustic sets. Enjoy live music, good vibes, and cafe drinks while discovering new talent and supporting our featured performers. If you're looking for open mic music events in Portland or a friendly spot to play, The Hostel Cafe is the place to be every Monday night. This is a free event, but we encourage you to tip our featured performers!

This week we are bringing you two acts as our featured performers: Bob & Ann-Louise and The Worrybirds. Our first feature, Bob & Ann-Louise, opens with A Sterry Sterry Night, a cabaret-style performance by husband-and-wife duo Anne-Louise and Bob Sterry. Blending Italian exuberance with British understatement, their show mixes funny, thoughtful storytelling and music, with a special appearance by Anne-Louise’s alter ego, Aunt Lena.

Our second feature, The Worrybirds, is a Portland-based acoustic duo made up of Phoebe Webb and Guido Rahr. Their heartfelt, unplugged originals draw inspiration from modern folk artists like Sierra Ferrell and old-time legends such as John Hartford, blending rich melodies and guitar work into a sound all their own.
