  • Bathrooms are located on the upper level at the top of the stairs.
  • Respect the performers and hold conversations outside the room.

Open Mic Performance Guidelines

  • Please Print your Full Name legibly and fill out your line completely on the signup sheet.
  • Generally limit your performance (including introduction, comments, and stories) to 5 minutes.  If you have a longer piece, check with MC first.
  • Performers under 16 will have priority to play during the first set.
  • Current Members will be selected to play first. Guests will be selected as time allows.  
  • CD Sales are only allowed to the Featured Performer, all revenue goes to them and they are responsible for their sales.
