All ages are welcome, so come on over at 7:00pm and sign up for the 1 song (or spoken word) lottery. At 7:30 the host will pull the names from a basket one at a time. We usually have about 35 artists signing up so please perform a song that is 4 minutes or less so that all the artists signing up have a chance to play. For $20 you can request a DVD copy of your performance, which will be available for pick up on the following Monday night after 7pm. You are welcome to use our acoustic guitar, baby grand piano (on loan by Bill Stettler, Thank you Bill) and drum kit (use our brushes please). You can also sing to a track if you bring it in on a CD. Original songs are 95% of what artists do here but covers are fine as well. No amps please. We have all the audio gear, DI’s, and hook ups you’ll need.

Yes, be sure to speak with the sound person beforehand and that the song is less than 4 minutes but you may use a backing track.
