SPOTS FULL! Open Mic Night

We're bringing back a crowd favorite—Open Mic Night returns to Painted Horse on January 14th.

Here's how it works: We have openings for six musicians to take the stage for 15-minute sets from 4–7pm on The Green (or our covered heated patio if Mother Nature has other plans).

Performance slots:

4:00pm | 4:30pm | 5:00pm | 5:30pm | 6:00pm | 6:30pm

The Experience

You'll arrive to find The Green set up with heat towers keeping the January chill at bay, firepits on the patio, and twinkle lights strung overhead. Grab a glass of wine from the tasting room—try our newest release Lucy Goosey Rosé if you haven't yet—maybe order chili or a sandwich from The Feed Barn if you're hungry, and settle into one of the cozy spots with a view of the stage.

Between sets, wander over to meet the Pamelot Farm family: Fraunky the Donkey (our Wine Club's namesake), Pedro, and our newest addition—baby cow Dandelion.

Whether you're a musician looking for a supportive stage and a crowd that actually listens, a music lover who wants to discover local artists before they blow up, or someone who just needs a Wednesday escape that's only 30 minutes from Atlanta—this evening's for you.

For the Artists

Only 6 performance slots available—first-come, first-served.

We host live music 4–5 days a week at the vineyard, which means our regulars come ready to be your next biggest fans. You'll be hard-pressed to find a stage and vibe this beautiful, even in winter. Open Mic Night is a great way to build a relationship with us—we book musicians for public and private events year-round.

What you need to know:

• 15-minute performance window per artist

• We provide: Stage setup and all equipment (amps, mics, cables, stands)

• You bring: Your guitar (or other instrument). Many artists prefer their own microphone, but we have mics available if needed.

• Buffer time: 15 minutes between sets for teardown and setup

• 4pm slot: Arrive and be ready to set up by 3:45pm

• Acoustic sets work best for our vineyard setting
