The Goodstock Open Mic Championships are back, taking over Yonkers Brewing Co. on Friday, October 24 at 7:30 PM, for what’s shaping up to be one of the most electric nights of live music, community, and culture in Westchester.
This isn’t just another show — it’s the final battle of the season, featuring 12 of the top independent artists from across the 914, each competing for the Goodstock Open Mic Belt, $350 cash, and major opportunities to level up their careers. The night will feature an all-star judging panel, headlined by Robert Taylor Jr. — acclaimed music producer, professional dancer, and Broadway performer who’s worked with icons like Michael Jackson and Rihanna. Two additional industry judges will join him, bringing authentic expertise, credibility, and connections to the stage.
But more than a competition, Goodstock Finals are a celebration of community — a night built to uplift local artists, small businesses, and creatives who represent the heart of Westchester’s culture. With live vendors, press coverage, local influencers, and hundreds of music lovers filling Yonkers Brewing Co., it’s a night that defines what the Goodstock Movement stands for: giving independent artists a real platform and a stage that feels like home.
“Goodstock isn’t about who’s famous — it’s about who’s real,” said Josh Dooz, founder of Stockroom Records and host of The Goodstock Show. “We’re building a stage for the community. Artists who have been grinding, dreaming, and creating finally have a place to shine — and everyone’s invited to witness it.”
Since launching, Stockroom Records and The Goodstock Show have transformed the local scene, hosting open mics, showcases, and podcasts that have connected hundreds of artists, producers, and fans across the county. The Finals mark the culmination of that journey — a moment where passion meets purpose.
