Stage Left Open Mic, Ken Johnson featured performer, comes up FRIDAY, March 10, 2023. Our last Stage Left Open Mic was awesome, great crowd, wonderful music. It’s so good to be back on Fridays.
Save the date, 7:00 pm/CST (doors open 6:30 pm CST). Please join us at Stage Left Cafe, 125 Van Buren St., Woodstock, on the historic Woodstock Square.
These monthly events offer a delightful evening of music and friendship. We hope to see you — performing or enjoying the performances.
Stage Left Open Mic – Ken Johnson featured performer in March
Ken Johnson’s unique mix of soaring vocals and folk/rock guitar stylings have made him a
popular performer throughout the Midwest. He loves the music he grew up with: 60s and 70s
pop/folk/rock — but also mixes in material from a variety of contemporary artists. His ability
to deliver a song in an intimate and powerful way makes him a popular performer at concerts,
weddings, church services, and any event where music is a focal point.
Ken pioneered the use of computer technology in music education and participated in the consultation and implementation phases of music technology programs for thousands of
schools K-20 throughout North America. His work designing keyboard and guitar labs for VH1 Save the Music was groundbreaking. He now works as a performer and voice teacher, making his home in Woodstock, Illinois.
Here’s a sample of Ken’s music, Dance With My Father. We know you’ll want to hear more!

What is the Stage Left Open Mic?

These Open Mics, brought to you by Off Square Music, are monthly events on 2nd Fridays in Woodstock. Performers — musicians, singers, poets, and others — come together to connect with a live audience in a wonderful, family-friendly environment.
Whether you’re just starting out as a performer or are a seasoned veteran, our audience provides a supportive atmosphere. Stage Left, part of the Woodstock Opera House, adds to that ambiance with an exceptional performance space and sound system.
