Dallas–Fort Worth Open Mic: A Free Musical Evening in Carrollton on November 29
By Raja Zahid Akhtar Khanzada
Dallas: The pulse of music in Dallas–Fort Worth is set to quicken once again as the city prepares for an evening where an open mic becomes more than a stage. It becomes an invitation, to turn one’s voice into light. Shaks Entertainment is hosting a special musical event on November 29 at 5 p.m. at the Rising Performance Hall in Carrollton, offering aspiring singers not only a chance to perform but also the encouragement that comes with winning first, second, and third-place awards.
As the weekend approaches, organizers say the night promises to send a tremor through the city’s artistic air, awakening the forgotten instruments of the heart. It aims to be one of those rare evenings where words, rhythm, tone, and emotion blend into a single identity. Anyone who has ever sung alone in a quiet room or felt their own scribbled words turn into heartbeat is being urged to step forward and let their voice meet the spotlight. This stage asks for only one thing courage.
Attendees are being invited to join the gathering at the Rising Performance Hall and witness the moment when the microphone lights up. When it does, it will not only carry voices into the air but lift dreams with them. Organizers emphasize that this is not merely a competition but a celebration of art, a tribute to creative spirit, a ceremony of talent and sincerity. Perhaps the most welcoming part of the evening: admission is completely free.
According to Amir Makhani, the driving force behind Shaks Entertainment, this event is “not just a show but a promise.” A promise to every heart that shelters a melody, to every mind where words dance, and to every young man or woman carrying an untold talent. They are encouraged to step into the light and say, “I am here, and so is my voice.”
The evening is expected to unfold not just in song but in expression. Laughter will echo, poetry will flow, colors of creativity will scatter, and perhaps a new artistic identity for the city will quietly take birth. The prizes, too, are striking: $500 for first place, $300 for second, and $200 for third. Yet organizers insist that the true prize is that singular moment when the spotlight warms the performer’s face and the heart whispers, “This is where it was meant to begin.”
For the music lovers of Dallas–Fort Worth, this is more than an open mic. It is an invitation to reclaim one’s voice, to share one’s story, to step into identity.
On this night, the microphone will not speak — you will.
