We Sold Out: Inside CIRCUIT SESSIONS Bootacular, Our Biggest Night Yet

On Saturday, October 24, 2026, CIRCUIT SESSIONS did something we had never done before: we sold out. Session #7 — our Bootacular night at Casablanca Dry in Detroit — was the biggest room we have ever had, with over 80 people packed in to hear Detroit artists do what they do best.

To everyone who signed up to play, pulled up in costume, shopped a vendor, dropped a donation or just came to listen: thank you. You made this happen.

Bootacular, All the Way

We went all in on the theme. Costumes were optional, vibes were mandatory, ghosts were welcome and candy was encouraged. From the flyers to the stage, the whole night felt like Halloween in Detroit — and you showed up dressed for it.

Detroit Artists Owned the Stage

Many Detroit artists showcased their talent on the open mic — two songs each, all genres, real gear. That is the heart of what we do: give artists a real stage and a room that actually listens. See photos and video from the night →

The Community Behind It

Huber Breese Music donated another raffle prize. Vickie’s Kiss Earrings sold more beautiful pieces. Jessie Vespera joined us as one of the night’s art vendors. CIRCUIT SESSIONS has always been about the people, the music and the equipment — in that order — and this night proved it.

This Is CIRCUIT SESSIONS — Not Circuit Training

Quick note for anyone who found us by accident: if you search “circuit sessions”, Google sometimes thinks you mean a workout. We respect a good sweat, but circuit training is a gym thing. CIRCUIT SESSIONS is Detroit’s open mic+ — live music, local artists, vendors and a community that shows up for each other. (Yes, people really do search “circuit sessions, not circuit training.”) If you are looking for an open mic in Detroit, you are in the right place.

What’s Next: Santa’s Hangover, Our 1-Year Celebration

We are celebrating one year of CIRCUIT SESSIONS on Saturday, December 26, 2026, 5–8 PM at Casablanca Dry (6366 Gratiot Ave, Detroit): open networking for artists, the open mic, mocktails by Casablanca Dry, a food truck and a raffle. A $10 donation is encouraged.

There are 15 artist slots, two songs per artist — bring an instrument that plugs into a ¼” input, or have your backing track ready on YouTube. Grab your slot, then Donate & RSVP for Santa’s Hangover.

The future is loud, and we are just getting started. See you on stage.
