Open Mics are held every Thursday evening, 7:00-9:30. The sign-up sheet is kept in the café. Go in person or call (831-5620) to request an available slot. If the date you want to perform is full, you may request a spot as an alternate and take your chance. Otherwise, choose a future date. Plan ahead, as our Open Mics usually fill up weeks in advance. Each performer may perform a maximum of two songs. |
