This is a nice place I was there on sunday 9/29 and it had to be at least like 110 degrees hooooot!!! this can't be good on your guitar. I waited 3 hours outside waiting in line for them to open the door for sign ups. I played my song (about 3 and a half minutes since you only get 5 minutes so there really there is no time for another song. other than waiting 3 hours in the summer heat just to play one song is rather painful but other than that it is great!

Hi I am a vocalist and rythm guitarist and I would like to know a few things: Does a person need to be at least 18 to play? Are all the songs required to be origionals? And is an audition required or does one simply show up that same day and play?

The 5 minute limit is what makes the CFMC open mic so awesome. It means a wonderfully eclectic show in around 2 hours. Unlike other shows with extended sets most, folks stick around (politely) for the entire gig. Yeah it's tough to get warmed up in 30 seconds and nerves are evident, but if you can't get your message across in 5 minutes, it's time do some editing! I've managed two, even three ditties, on many occasions! When you are waiting to play, someone else's 10 minutes can seem like an eternity! Love the chicken!
